Seemingly seeking for the biographical projections of creativity, in fact the author turns the writing itself into intrigue. In the form of essays, interviews, commentaries, and other “epitexts” (Genette), the author blurs the boundary that connects and separates the text on the one hand and its interpretations on the other. Thereby, he takes the work out of its fictional world and gives it performativity, assigning it a role in the real life. Thus, while speaking and writing about his works, the author draws his self-portrait as well. This conscious and purposeful authorial representation shows the way the author sees himself, his work, but it also hints the care for the image he wants to leave for posterity.","PeriodicalId":41031,"journal":{"name":"Chuzhdoezikovo Obuchenie-Foreign Language Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73098778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed article on the basis of a parallel Russian-Bulgarian corpus examines the question by what means of expression in the Bulgarian language the opposition of the two forms of Russian adjectives is manifested, how the series of their semantic, stylistic and syntactic differences are translated, including their ability to express a temporary and / or permanent feature. It is shown that the Bulgarian language reacts differently in cases when the Russian full and short forms differ semantically, as well as when the difference between the Russian forms is stylistic or pragmatic. There are also discrepancies in the semantics of Russian and Bulgarian predicative adjectives with identical roots in view of their ability to indicate the stability of the feature (i.e. to mean a property, characteristic) or its actuality (temporary state).","PeriodicalId":41031,"journal":{"name":"Chuzhdoezikovo Obuchenie-Foreign Language Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85887142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some specific names of the spring months of March, April and May are examined, tracing the specific marks and processes characteristic of the daily life of the dialect speaker, which lie as a motivating base in the meaning of the words. It is clear from the research that most of the names of the spring months are characteristic of the entire linguistic territory, but there are also some more specific names that reflect activities specific to the calendar time and to the daily life of the dialect speaker. Such phenomena, holidays and various domestic and economic processes are associated with a reference to the women's holiday in the month of March and the changeable weather; with the greening of nature, with the Easter holidays and with the shearing of the sheep in the month of April; with St. George's Day, with the digging of corn and with the first cherries - in the month of May.

The research traces whether their vocabulary adheres to the official discourse, how dynamic it is and whether it answers to the requirements of high speech etiquette. On the other hand, it examines certain phonetic features, such as tempo, intonation, logical stress, repetitions, etc. The study directly observes at what point the debaters abandon the formal high speech etiquette and lose ground in the argument. The object of linguistic analysis is also the length of sentences, the number of words used, and self-talk. Finally, the question of what is the goal of this is also raised: whether they eloquently persuade the electorate and draw approval and interest upon themselves, or whether they achieve the opposite - the disapproval and disaffection of the audience.","PeriodicalId":41031,"journal":{"name":"Chuzhdoezikovo Obuchenie-Foreign Language Teaching","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79550937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the rise of national consciousness in the 19th century and the change of political configuration, the process of convergence of the Balkan languages was interrupted. Moreover, individual regional dialects of some languages, once united by a common name, took on a life of their own.
