NEGATIVE FORMS OF THE DUBITATIVE FOR FUTURE SIMPLE AND FUTURE IN THE PAST
(Plovdiv University Press, 2024-05-17) Androva, Diana
This paper discusses three hypotheses based on the choice between the four forms to express a negative dubitative semantics in Bulgarian. The first hypothesis examines the competition between two of these forms: nyamalo bil, ne shtyal bil. The second and the third hypotheses examine the uses of the forms nyamal bil, nyamalo bil. The study does not give a concrete answer to the question “which form is most commonly used to express a negative dubitative semantics”. As such we can conclude that the process of grammaticalization has not been completed yet.
ON THE INTERCHANGEABILITY OF THE BULGARIAN SUMMATIVE PRONOUNS VSICHKI, VSICHKITE AND TSELITE
(Plovdiv University Press, 2025-05-16) Androva, Diana; Андрова, Диана
This study examines the competitive uses of the summative pronouns vsichki, vsichkite and tselite. Only the plural forms of the pronouns are examined. First hypothesis is about vsichki and vsichkite and examines in what type of phrase can each of them operate. The second hypothesis is that vsichkite and tselite can operate in a parallel distribution. The terms one-way substitutability and two-way substitutability are introduced to explain the relationship between these two pronouns when they are used in the same contexts. For the purpose of the study, we analyzed examples excerpted from Internet.
