Creating Creative Blends In 21 Century (A Comparative Study Of English And Bulgarian
This article studies blending as a word-formative strategy used in newly coined vocabulary in English and English borrowings in Bulgarian. It involves merging parts of two or more words to create a new lexical unit and typically occurs when the beginning of the first is combined with the end of the second to form a new word that represents a combination of their meanings. Blending is commonly used to create new words for technological advancement…
Coining Nonce Words
Nonce words or occasionalisms are coined for a particular occasion and usually they are used just once. It is especially difficult when such newly created words have to be translated to another language. This article studies John Harding’s novel Florence & Giles and its Bulgarian translation (by Vladimir Molev). It is a sinister Gothic story told by the 12-year-old Florence living in an isolated New England mansion in 1891. She distorts words by …
The semantic profile of the verbal prefix do- in Bulgarian and Croatian
This is a comparative study of the verbal prefix do- in two South Slavic languages, Bulgarian (Blg.) and Croatian (Cro.). Although these two languages show many similarities in the meaning of the verb stems and prefixation patterns, there are some unusual differences that may confuse foreign learners of Slavic, who expect identical or similar base verbs to combine with the same prefixes. The cognitive linguistics framework allows us to approach t…
Translating deictic motion verbs among Bulgarian, Croatian, and Serbian
This article deals with translating South Slavic deictic verbs. Specifically, we consider translations among Bulgarian, Croatian, and Serbian. Deictic verbs are verbs whose interpretation is dependent on the location of speech-act participants (Fillmore 1997), such as come and go. In research on Slavic, certain motion verbs prefixes have been discussed as deictic prefixes (see Grenoble 1991, Filipović 2009, Łozińska 2018). Particular emphasis in …
Exploring Smell From a Cognitive Perspective in English and Bulgarian (A Corpus Study)
Perception is universal for human beings but linguists are interested whether it is conceptualized the same way in different languages. The focus of this article is the concept of smell and how it is linguistically coded in English and Bulgarian. Such cross-linguistic meanings have not been systematically investigated when they appear in context. This study is corpus-based to capture, on the one hand, the conceptual organization of smell and, on …
How Seeing Is Different From Looking a Cognitive Perspective on Verb-Particle Constructions With Look and See
In Cognitive linguistics verb-particle (VP) constructions are treated as compositional and analyzable. The particles when combined with the verbs contribute to the overall meaning in the form of image schemas. This article compares the verbparticle constructions with look and see. It aims at analyzing the nuances of meaning of two synonymous verbs that combine with spatial particles and examines the image schemas associated with them
Crossing Borders on the Balkan Route
This research studies the headlines representing migrants along the Balkan route in Bulgarian online news during the "migrant crisis" of 2015/2016, as well as the pictorial images that immediately follow the headlines. It compares the verbal and the visual representation of migrants and applies both critical discourse analysis and multimodal analysis. The study uses the term 'text' in a wider sense including both the verbal text and the pictorial…
Frame Semantics and Verbs of Motion. The Case of Enter and Go Into. A Corpus-Based Study
The article studies the verbs enter and go into in a corpus of technical texts on a comparative basis. We apply the methodology of Frame semantics with the purpose of showing foreign learners of English an indicative characteristic of the language, i.e. the various constructions, in which enter and go into participate, as well as the semantic network of their distinctive meanings. In this research we rely on the usagebased approach and provide ev…
Phrasal verbs with off may not be hard to pull off
This article studies the phrasal verbs (PV) widely used in contemporary English ** . They are challenging to foreign language learners not only because they are numerous but also with their multiple meanings. Polysemous phrasal verbs are seen from a new perspective with the development of cognitive linguistics. Researchers apply the cognitive principles to arrange them in systematic groups and to prove that their meanings are not randomly chosen …
