Mixed marriages are one of the effects of migration. Every community has its own marriage regulations that define which marriages (meaning also which forms of inter-cultural exchange, inter-cultural dialog) are allowed, possible and inadmissible. In the foundations of these rules, strictly related to the definitions of the “own” and “alien”, and with the further differentiation of the “own”, lay the ideas about what is useful for the community. These rules are embedded in different tests; for the time when national law system was still not created, oral traditions and literature were among their main carriers. The paper is focused at the plots in literature dealing with marriages and love affairs of Bulgarian women with men from other ethnical origins, other religion and especially with the faith of some women that had to live in a community, different from their own.

This paper presents a publication, unexplored so far, which has an important place in the early methodical literature on the problems of language learning. The Methodology of Linguistics (1906, 1907) in two volumes by St. Chakarov and M. Gospodinov is a continuation of the Herbartian pedagogical and didactic concept that entered in our country as early the 1880s through the translation reception of Stjepan Basariček and for several decades it had dominant impact on the formation of methodical thought in the country. In this sense the Methodology under review is a milestone in the foundation of the methods of teaching Bulgarian language as a system of theoretical and practical-and-applied views, a major part of which are still relevant from the standpoint of modern scientifi c thought

This article is about the original Greek vocabulary in the Book of Revelation of St. John the Theologian (or of the Apocalypse) in view of the development of the overall Christian biblical tradition. The object of the study is the Greek vocabulary in the New Testament canonical corpus, which is found only in the text of the Apocalypse – i.e. the excerpted lexical units have remained out of the vocabulary of the Greek translation of the Old Testament canonical corpus, outside the sacred evangelical text and beyond that of the epistoles and the acts of Christ’s apostles. The collected lexical material is presented together with its Slavonic translation in the context of the other biblical books from the earliest period of Slavonic script, and is supplemented by its correspondences in the Latin translation of the Sacred Scripture

By examining the “Path Through the Years”, the study draws conclusions about the construction of memory in the memoir realm of Konstantin Konstantinov. It traces the extent to which the literary history in the book approaches or departs from both the literary history proclaimed after 1944 and today. The reflection on the first reviews of “Path Through the Years” leads to conclusions about the shift in attitude towards the book over the decades, which supports the thesis that the past and the perceptions towards it are differentiated and reevaluated in accordance with the pulse of time.

The paper is dedicated to the history of translation of Sophocles’ seminal tragedy Oedipus the King in Bulgaria. It studies the different strategies of translation that have been adopted by Bulgarian authors, when rendering the Greek word τύχη in contemporary Bulgarian language. In comparing the various translational versions of a short passage from the 3rd epeisodion, and having in mind the translators’ background and decisions, the paper argues that the instance of Oedipus the King is indicative of the productive power of translation. The comparison shows how displacements and shifting of meaning in the process of translation could bring about new, unexpected effects of meaning. This situation is also brought about by the specific way of reception of Ancient literature in Bulgaria, since not all of the translators have used the original in their work.
