Innovation processes in the Czech and Bulgarian language situation (based on media language material)
Niševa, Božana ; Martincová, Olga (advisor) ; Savický, Nikolaj (referee) ; Gladkova, Hana (referee)
The problems of the innovation processes in the present-day language systems have been essential to the current linguistic research. In general, this thesis is focused on a synchronic contrastive description of the types of innovation processes producing and inf1uencing the lexical dynamics of the Czech and Bulgarian languages. Doing so, it stems from the generally accepted view that, depending on the criterion applied, the individual innovation processes may be made correlative with various dynamic tendencies of a more complex and universal nature, L e. with signs of intellectualization and democratization, intemationalization and nationalization, terminologization and de-terminologization ofthe Czech and Bulgarian literary languages. Chapter I presents the methodological and theoretical starting points of the research. By means of a model designed by B. Havránek and developed by A. Jedlička, the following parallels between the Czech and Bulgarian language situations are being set in it: a) political and social changes in both societies and new orientation of interests of the members of the "language (communication) community"; b) widening the spheres of use of colloquial and non-literary linguistic devices; c) increase in the number of users of foreign languages, especially English; d) spread of new...

Abrreviation in Contemporary Bulgarian language in Comparison with the Czech language
Kalajdžievová, Natalie ; Rangelová, Albena (advisor) ; Košková, Mária (referee) ; Niševa, Božana (referee)
ABBREVIATION IN CONTEMPORARY BULGARIAN LANGUAGE IN COMPARISON WITH THE CZECH LANGUAGE Dissertation work is aimed at confrontation study of abbreviation in Bulgarian in comparison with Czech and at the description of abbreviations as specific language symbols. Contemporary language tendencies and the changes in the field of abbreviation in relation to the language typology are taken into account. The work is dedicated to the grammatical, stylistic and semantic characteristics of the abbreviations, while a substantial part of the confrontation description addresses the graphical and initial abbreviations, which create a central part of the partial system of abbreviation formations. From the confrontational aspect, there is also described the ability of abbreviations to serve as word-formation base for derivatives. The dissertation work also includes the results of socio-linguistic research made by questionnaire method, where the respondents evaluated the abbreviations of an international character and the words containing abbreviated bases implemented into the text written in Cyrillic.

The words of Turkish origin in the contemporary Bulgarian, Greek and Albanian languages
Iliopoulos, Viktoras ; Niševa, Božana (advisor) ; Gladkova, Hana (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the use of Turkisms in Bulgarian, Greek and Albanian languages. First of all, the basic principles of lexical borrowing and the place of Turkisms in the current linguistic situation of the Bulgarian, Greek and Albanian languages are discussed. Attempts have been made to identify a specific number of Turkisms in each language, and some views have been presented on the term "Turkism", according to some scholars. Periodization of the onset of Turkisms are discussed, as well as a brief overview of previous studies on Turkisms as an introduction to the problem. After that, the subject of the work went on to the morphological and lexical-semantic analysis of Turkisms. From a morphological point of view, the basic Turkish suffixes borrowed in these three Balkan languages and their main meanings are considered. The analysis is performed with the selection of 70 Turkisms from the index of Prof. dr. Maxim Stamenov and having as source language for the comparison the Bulgarian language. The most famous and extensive dictionaries of each language from which the meanings of the lemmas came from were selected for comparison. In the same way, the analysis of Bulgarian, Greek and Albanian Turkisms in the language of the media is carried out. I have tried to find examples of...

Loanwords from exotic languages in Czech and Bulgarian Language
Skácelová, Anne-Maria ; Niševa, Božana (advisor) ; Gladkova, Hana (referee)
Annotation: The bachelor's thesis focuses on comparing the attitudes to words taken from so-called "exotic" languages in Czech and Bulgarian linguistics and lexicography. It examines the terminological and theoretical agreements and the differences in the approaches to similar exoticisms and the different formal, semantic and grammatical features of individual loanwords. The analysed material comes from single-volume interpretative dictionaries of literary Czech and Bulgarian which are regarded as normative and contain approximately 50,000 or 60,000 words. The thesis is based on the view that the term "exotic language" ("exoticism") is mainly denoted by the names of phenomena, objects and so on originating from distant lands and cultures (realia) while taking into account the de-exoticism of particular units, which gradually become part of the commonly-used vocabulary of both languages.
