PHRASEOLOGICAL PERIPHERAL MODIFIERS FOR THE EXPRESSION OF COMPARATIVITY IN CONTEMPORARY BULGARIAN

Abstract

The article examines the phraseological peripheral modifiers in the functional-semantic field of comparativity in contemporary Bulgarian. The approach to linguistic facts is consistent with the achievements of the functionalsemantic grammar, which seeks to describe all possible means in a language capable of expressing a meaning. Therefore, as the subject of this text, we define the functional-semantic field of comparativity in Contemporary Bulgarian. The study focuses on the analysis of peripheral lexical means, and in particular of phraseologisms and sustainable comparisons. The classification and systematization approach is used, and we relied on synchronous description. In the course of the study, depending on their construction and type, phraseological units were classified and divided into groups, supported by examples.
