dc.description.abstract | With the development of the cognitive paradigm, as well as the
anthropocentric direction in modern linguistics, there is a tendency towards a
complex study of men. One of the aspects of this approach is the study of the
individual as the person exericing a certain profession, therefore the object of
attention are the linguistic patterns characterizing the doer of the action with
regard to his professional affiliation. The active processes of word formation and
nomination, which are closely related to the evolutionary development in
society, are implemented in the respective linguistic units.
In both Turkish and Bulgarian a number of word-formation patterns with
an agentive meaning, relatively similar in their semantics, are found, distributed
in one of the word-formation types nomina professionalis. The structural core
of the category is formed by the semantic pattern “A person who performs an
action named in the underlying stem”. | en_US |
