Abstract

As representatives of the first generation of European scholars to observe and describe the Bulgarian vernacular from the 19th century, Vuk Karadžić, Victor Grigorovich and Stefan Verković made a great contribution to the study of the verb morphology of Bulgarian dialects of that time. Their pioneering research mark the emergence of scientific interest to some of the most distinctive features and peculiarities of Bulgarian verbs such as: the loss of the Old Slavonic infinitive, the existence of aorist and past imperfect tense with a variety of dialect forms, the dialectal differences in the present tense conjugations and the large number of phonetic variants of the particle ще used in futuretense formation. Keywords: Bulgarian dialects, morphology of Bulgarian dialects, Bulgarian verbs
