While some foreign words came into Macedonian directly from their original languages, others entered through mediation. Thus, there are some Persian and Arabic words which came with the Turkish influence. Few people know that kibrit (matches) is from Arabic while gerdan (necklace), boston (common word for watermelon and melon) and cesma (tap) are Persian. Many German words came with the use of various machines and technologies. Originally German terms are used for car parts, tools, names of machines and mechanisms. They have been altered and somewhat adapted to Macedonian, but still sound quite distant and incongruent with the rest of the language – gurtna (break pad), sajbna (washer), strafciger (screw driver), stangla (rod), motorcangla (pliers).

    1470 XVIII. Slavische Standardsprachen 109. Formation of the Standard Language: Macedonian 1. The Beginnings of Local Schreibsprachen 2. Attempts at Codifying a Literary Language on a Dialectal Basis 3. Formation of a Macedonian Standard Language as Part of “Nation-Building” 4. Recent Developments since Independence in 1991 5. Codification and Use of Macedonian in the Diaspora 6. Literature (selected) Abstract In the 19 th century a number of churchmen in Macedonia wrote sermons and primers in a form of Slavonic that was close to vernacular speech. These can be seen as the first texts of written Macedonian, although their authors did not intend to create a new literary language. The first document of explicit Macedonian linguistic and political separatism is Rečnik od tri jezika (1875). In his book Za makedonckite raboti Krste P. Misirkov (1874Ϫ1926) advocated a literary language based on the Prilep-Bitola dialect, but the book was never distributed. After the partition of Macedonia (1913) Macedonian literary activity was tolerated in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia as “dialect literature”. There were thriv- ing theatre groups in Skopje and Sofia and Kočo Racin from Veles wrote poetry that has retained its literary value. The communist partisans used the local dialects in their pamphlets in Vardar Macedonia during the Axis occupation and in 1944 they declared that Macedonian would be the official language of the new Macedonian republic. The decisive codificational steps were Koneski’s grammar (1952Ϫ1954) and the ‘academy dictionary’ (1961Ϫ1966). Independence has terminated the Serbian/Macedonian diglos- sia that was characteristic of Vardar Macedonia in the 20 th century. There have been various attempts to codify Macedonian in the diaspora.

  • Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Practice and Linguistic Identity in Primary Education
    Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Linguistic Practice and Identity in Macedonian Primary Education by Amanda Carroll Greber A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Amanda Carroll Greber 2013 Abstract Proper Language, Proper Citizen: Standard Linguistic Practice and Identity in Macedonian Primary Education Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Amanda Carroll Greber Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto This dissertation analyzes how the concept of the ideal citizen is shaped linguistically and visually in Macedonian textbooks and how this concept changes over time and in concert with changes in society. It is focused particularly on the role of primary education in the transmission of language, identity, and culture as part of the nation-building process. It is concerned with how schools construct linguistic norms in association with the construction of citizenship. The linguistic practices represented in textbooks depict “good language” and thus index also “good citizen.” Textbooks function as part of the broader sets of resources and practices with which education sets out to make citizens and thus they have an important role in shaping young people’s knowledge and feelings about the nation and nation-state, as well as language ideologies and practices. By analyzing the “ideal” citizen represented in a textbook we can begin to discern the goals of the government and society. To this end, I conduct a diachronic analysis of the Macedonian language used in elementary readers at several points from 1945 to 2000 using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods.

    Book Review Zuzanna Topolińska, Polish ~ Macedonian, Grammatical Confrontation: The Development of Grammatical Categories. Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 2008, 218 pp. Angelina Pančevska The eighth volume of the series Polish ~ Macedonian, Grammati- cal Confrontation entitled “The Development of Grammatical Catego- ries” was published in 2008 by the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The subject of interest in this series of publications is the typo- logical confrontation on a synchronic and diachronic level between the Macedonian and Polish language. In the volume in question, the author deals with the historical development of grammatical categories and, in particular, with the differences between these two languages. The volume has 219 pages and the contents are divided into 10 chapters. Apart from these 10 main parts, there is an introduction, and introductory and concluding notes. At the end, there are extended résu- més in Polish and English, as well as a list of references. At the very beginning, in the so-called introductory notes, the au- thor shares her understanding of the concepts she deals with in the text. So, when she uses the term grammaticalised information, she refers to “information which in a single class of morpho-syntactic constructions has obligatory predictable exponents of a morphological and/or mor- pho-syntactic nature.” Furthermore, when she uses the term grammati- cal category, she refers to “a semantic category with a grammaticalised - 223 - AngelinA PAnčevskA nucleus, i.e. a semantic category whose most important elements for the act of verbal communication have regular and predictable exponents.” Grammatical categories function at sentence level, and there are the so- called verbal categories (tense, aspect, modality) as well as those at the level of the noun phrase called nominal categories (gender, number, case, etc.).

It analyzes the mechanisms and the actual process of transforming the ninth-century Byzantine missionaries into eponymic Slavic forefathers destined to play a major role in the nesting of Slavic identities and in the legitimization of various political organisms in the modern Slavic world. The paper therefore does not deal in the alleged “historical truth” and deliberately avoids historical objectivism as far as the medieval events related to Cyril and Methodius are concerned.

Philology, scientific specialty "Bulgarian language (dialectology)", grouped by topic Publications after the habilitation are summarized (since 2014). І. Study of the language of Bulgarian communities abroad Monographic descriptions: 5. The mixed language of the Viennese Bulgarians. Sofia. Bukvica. 2017. (280 p.) ISBN 978- 954-92489-0-6 Recently the number of Bulgarian speakers worldwide grew as a result of continuous migration. This process of relocation has several reasons, but mainly economic ones. One of the oldest Bulgarian communities outside of Bulgaria is in Austria, where Bulgarians first settled in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The number of Bulgarian communities in the Austrian capital Vienna has grown very rapidly in recent decades. In the 1990s the Bulgarians in Austria were around 6,000; in 2005 the number increased to more than 30,000. At the moment the Bulgarians are more than 50,000. This book is a study about the speech of the Bulgarian community in Austria, which is basically bilingual. This speech is influenced by many linguistic elements: it is basically of a conversational character and is determined by the trends in the Bulgarian and German colloquial languages. On the other hand, it is influenced by the two standard languages. The Austrian media and the Bulgarian institutions in Vienna that support the Bulgarian standard language, such as the school, the press, etc., have an impact on this. Specifically in Vienna, the Bulgarians use the colloquial language of the Bulgarian standard language (the so-called mesolect).

  • The Loss of Case Inflection in Bulgarian and Macedonian

Box 24 (Unioninkatu 40 B) 00014 University of Helsinki Finland Copyright © by Max Wahlström ISBN 978-951-51-1185-2 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-1186-9 (PDF) ISSN-L 0780-3281, ISSN 0780-3281 (Print), ISSN 1799-5779 (Online) Summary Case inflection, characteristic of Slavic languages, was lost in Bulgarian and Macedonian approximately between the 11th and 16th centuries. My doctoral dissertation examines the process of this language change and sets out to find its causes and evaluate its consequences. In the earlier research literature, the case loss has been attributed either to language contacts or language internal sound changes, yet none of the theories based on a single explaining factor has proven satisfactory. In this study, I argue that the previous researchers of the Late Medieval manuscripts have often tried to date changes in the language earlier than what is plausible in light of the textual evidence. Also, I propose that the high number of second language speakers is among the key factors that reduced the number of morphological categories in the language, but, at the same time, several minor developments related to the case loss—for instance, in the marking of possession—are likely to result from a specific contact mechanism known as the Balkan linguistic area. My main methodological argument is that the study of language contacts must take into account a general typological perspective to determine the uniqueness of the suspected contact-induced changes.

  • ON TRANSLATION of CHURCH-SLAVONIC ORTHODOX TERMS in FRENCH Svetlana Jakimovska University “Goce Delcev” –Stip [email protected]
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UGD Academic Repository ON TRANSLATION OF CHURCH-SLAVONIC ORTHODOX TERMS IN FRENCH Svetlana Jakimovska University “Goce Delcev” –Stip [email protected] Abstract Church Slavonic orthodox terms are part of Orthodox terminology that have specific etymological origin. Church Slavonic language is actually liturgical language currently used within the Macedonian Orthodox Church - Ohrid Archbishopric. It originates from the Old Slavic language, with adapted pronunciation and orthography and with certain lexical modifications. The translation of these terms is needed from a pragmatic point of view – numerous orthodox emigrants in France but also the translation of contemporary Macedonian authors in French who use these terms because of their specific semantic and stylistic nuances. On the other hand, terminology resources considering this specific field are rare. In that sense, the paper aims to elaborate the possibilities of translation of these terms in French imposing not only bridging of two languages with different history, but also, bridging of two cultures with different religious traditions: orthodox and catholic. Introduction – the use of Church Slavonic terms in religious contexts Because of the need of spreading the Word of God, the history of translation is closely linked to the translation of religious texts, especially to the Bible translation. The orthodox Slaves know well the importance of the Bible translation in Old Slavonic by Saints Cyril and Methodius1 – it meant not only bringing closer the beauty of the Christianity and of the Christian ethics to the people, but also, rising of the Church Slavonic language among languages through which the Word of God could be preached.
