Pages: 21-42

Abstract:

The transcript of “Slavo-Bulgarian History”, done by the Turnovian Kancho Stoyanov in 1844, reflects the late reception of Paisiy’s work. The textological examination and a close study of the language of the manuscript show that it is based on several transcripts, with different genealogy and a different balance between more archaic morphological, syntactic and lexical traits on the one hand, and elements typical of the spoken language during the first half of the XIX century, on the other. In terms of language the transcript is not uniform.

Keywords:

“A Slavo-Bulgarian History”, Paissiy Hilendarski, Kancho Stoyanov, morphological traits, syntactic traits, lexical traits.
