ANALYTIC IMPERATIVE FORMS IN MODERN BULGARIAN AND THEIR FUNCTIONAL ANALOGUES IN ENGLISH

Abstract

The current study focuses on the analytic imperative forms in Modern Bulgarian and their functional analogues in Modern English. The main reason for choosing this topic is related to the variety of imperative forms and constructions and the different ways in which analytic imperative forms in Bulgarian are translated into English. Based on a comparative analysis between the two languages, it is concluded that the paradigm of the analytic imperative in Modern Bulgarian is considerably richer in formal attitude compared to the paradigm of the imperative in Modern English.
