Abstract
The article briefly presents some of the most specific features of the syntax of the Bulgarian colloquial speech: the special syntactic constructions that occur in informal communication (reduplicative constructions, elliptical constructions, reconstructions, hyperbats, anacoluthons, etc.), the different word order, the specific usage of the coordinating and subordinating connectives (defined in syntactical literature as colloquial), the frequent presence of asyndetism (conjunctionless connection of individual elements in the utterance and of different utterances), the rivalry between parataxis and hypo-taxis emerging in the conversation, etc. All these characteristic features clearly distinguish the colloquial syntax from the syntax of the Bulgarian literary (normative) language.
