LINGUISTIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING SECONDARY SPEECH IN MODERN BULGARIAN AND ITALIAN

Abstract

The object of our research is the FSF of commentability in the Bulgarian language, as well as the functional-semantic equivalents of the category in the Italian language. Special attention is paid to grammatic over-telling. Our motivation to dwell on this topic is the fact that “the so-called restatement of the verb action is one of the most characteristic features of the Bulgarian language in relation to other Slavic languages and in relation to almost all Indo-European languages” (Gerdzhikov/Gerdzhikov 1984: 3).
