Annotation:
The project is aimed at the research and presenting of the vocabulary riches of the Bulgarian language in the context of the language diversity of Europe on a dialectal level. Lexemes from the Bulgarian dialects will be compared with their semantic parallels using data from the multivolume international edition of European linguistic atlas and archive materials of it. The onomasiological and semasiological parallels will be highlighted, analogues in motivation of the lexemes, analogues and differences in the morphological and their word-formation structure, signifiacant phonetic phenomenons. Maps of the different phenomenons will be made that include archive and literary sourcess in comparison with the maps of ELA. The significance of the job is in the establishment of the original elements and the parallels between the bulgarian, slavic, balcanic and european lexical riches on a dialect level.
The project is part of the priorirty scientific direction of the Institute for Bulgarian language Cultural and Historical Linguistic Heritage of Bulgaria.
