Abstract:

Over the centuries, traditional Bulgarian folk culture has developed a system of healing practices and magical rites for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. The lexemes from the thematic groups of health and disease reveal the knowledge and experience of Bulgarians in the treatment and prevention of diseases, as well as the place of physical and mental health in their value system. The aim of the Ethnolinguistic Dictionary of Bulgarian Folk Medicine is to present the concepts of health and disease in the Bulgarian linguistic picture of the world in a synchronous and diachronic aspect, revealing their linguistic representatives in dialects from all over the Bulgarian language and medieval manuscripts.
