Abstract
In this study, we will examine the semantic potential of the adverb скоро ‘soon’ in the Bulgarian language, analyzing the individual meanings under the prism of comparison with the Polish language, and translating equivalents will also be proposed. Illustrative material is excerpted from original Bulgarian and Polish literary texts and their translations. The adverb скоро has a rich semantic structure, functioning as temporal adverb, tempo adverb as well as a durative adverb. When graded, disjunction from lexical meaning is also observed.
