ON STRESS AGAIN AND ITS REPRESENTATION IN DICTIONARIES Stoykova, Nikoleta; Стойкова, Николета In this paper the author investigates the production of stress in the English N+N borrowing чийзбургер ‘cheeseburger’ in Bulgarian by two groups of speakers: Bulgarian learners of English and Bulgarian speakers with no knowledge of English. The experiment consisted of two tests: first a production, and then a perception one (a judgement task), with five trained phoneticians taking part in the latter. Part of a bigger ongoing study, the research was inspired by the various representations of the word 'чийзбургер' ‘cheeseburger’ with different stress patterns in the examined dictionaries. 2020-10-20T00:00:00Z https://lib.uni-plovdiv.net/handle/123456789/805 STYLISTIC AND PRAGMATIC SPECIFICITIES OF COGNITIVE METAPHORS IN BULGARIAN POLITICAL SPEECHES FROM THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY Andreeva, Zhaneta; Андреева, Жанета In this article, some stylistic and pragmatic aspects of cognitive metaphors in the speeches of renowned Bulgarian politicians from the end of the 19th century are discussed. The objects of analysis are the parliamentary speeches of Konstantin Stoilov and Stephan Stambolov, given in the same circumstances of time and culture. Both politicians are highly educated, and education is the key to the choice of metaphors. It is here that we find a paradoxical contrast to contemporary Bulgarian political speeches, which are characterized by bombastic statements, illocutionary incompetence and performative aberrations. The political speeches of today have a great stock of metaphors with cognitive content, but they are mostly a product of intuitive reflection of untamed instinct. Oratory skills, an understanding of empiricism and the successful usage of stylistic figures all make speech affective and ensure that the communicative intent is fulfilled. There is an inverse proportionality between the intelligence of the orators and the spontaneity in their choice of metaphors: the higher the former, the lower the latter. In Stoilov’s and Stambolov’s speeches, there is a strong intensity of metaphors with deep cultural meaning, which are based on high intelligence, as well as morally legitimated national identification. 2020-10-20T00:00:00Z https://lib.uni-plovdiv.net/handle/123456789/804 ISMAIL B. AĞLAGÜL’S INTERPRETATIONS FOR RENDERING BULGARIAN PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS INTO TURKISH Osman, Hatizhe; Осман, Хатиже Phraseology is a collection of phraseological expressions in a language. This report aims to compare and analyze the peculiarities of the use of phraseological units in their respective translation from Bulgarian into Turkish. As a center of all human communication, translations create a connection between nationalities and cultures. The main task of a translation is to give the reader an understandable text that has preserved its original meaning. Several examples from Bulgarian plays translated into Turkish by Ismail Ağlagül are analyzed. The author uses various phraseological units and the analysis is focused on whether and to what extent the use of phraseologisms is meaningful and adequate for translation. There is evidence that despite the author's interpretations, the content and the meaning of the text are not changed. It turns out that phraseological units units are an appropriate tool for rendering information through translation. 2020-10-20T00:00:00Z https://lib.uni-plovdiv.net/handle/123456789/803 TURKISH NOUNS DENOTING PEOPLE, FORMED FROM THE NAMES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS AND THE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THEM (BASED ON MATERIAL FROM THE TURKISH LANGUAGE) Kutsarova, Sema; Куцарова, Сема The end of the XX and the beginning of the XXI century is a period in which the development of humanities, including linguistics, results in a new, anthropocentric paradigm. This has led to the emergence of numerous studies focusing on various linguistic phenomena reflecting the culture, the worldview and the mentality of each nation. As an important component of human life and economic activity, animals are present in the cultural traditions of many nations and are associated with certain elements, seasons and forces, and their life and behavior serve as a model for human society. These processes are also reflected in the language system, thus forming a major lexical layer of animal names, widely represented in all the languages around the world. Zoolexemes are also investigated by the word formation system, which studies the specifics of their derivative potential. In the present study, the main focus is put on the formation of nomina agentis, with the aim of classifying them into derivative types and models with respect to their derivative meanings and formants with particular semantics. 2020-10-20T00:00:00Z
