Abstract:

In modern Bulgarian, an increasing number of accent doublets are allowed in words of both domestic and foreign origin. In recent editions of the Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language, which has a normative character, such examples abound. In some of these words, this is attributed to intralinguistic development tendencies. In the majority of cases, however, accent doublets are allowed under the dictation of widespread illiteracy. This article studies the accent in the words ‘structure’ and ‘dean’ and all derivatives thereof, which, according to the latest Spelling Dictionary (2012) now have accent doublets.
