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.
