Тройна показателна местоименна система в диалекта на с. Речане, Призренско

Abstract

In the article, from the point of view of the theory of grammatical oppositions, the organization and composition of the triple demonstrative pronoun system in the Rechanе dialect, which marks the western border of the Bulgarian linguistic land, is presented. It is emphasized on the signs on the basis of which it is built, and the existence of a logical relationship between them, which predetermines the number of its constituent members. The reasons that led to the limitation of the area of distribution of the triple paradigm of demonstrative pronouns and to the development towards its reduction to two-part, which characterize today the predominant part of the speech on our linguistic territory, and which has imposed itself as a norm from the point of view of the contemporary Bulgarian literary language, are also indicated. A parallel is drawn with the development of the four-member morphological category definiteness / definiteness (which arises on the basis of the phenomenon analyzed in the article) and its development, emphasizing the existing similarity in the two developmental processes. The presented analysis of the triple demonstrative pronoun system of the speech of the village of Rechane, Prizrensko is based on material personally collected by the author during the course of candidate student courses in Bulgarian language, literature, history and culture for the Bulgarian minority there in the period 2015–2019.
