The article focuses on Bulgarian surnames motivated by a domesticated animal species. Over 270 surnames and their word forms are used for the purposes of this study, categorized into two main groups. Despite the detailed etymology of the motivating lexemes remaining outside the direct scope of the study, the surnames are accompanied by etymological notes, as well as the semantics of the dialectal word. This type of lexical units is highly indicative from the perspective of folk psychology as they reveal the Bulgarian mentality in previous eras, as well as the role of animal husbandry in their lifestyle and everyday life.

ON THE IMAGERY AND STABILITY IN “AS X AS Y” CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE BULGARIAN LANGUAGE, 2024

linguistic practice (e.g., stable, traditional, figurative, etc.). The study also covers whether “as X as Y” units fall within the scope of phraseology or cognitive linguistics. Opinions of prominent specialists are traced regarding whether or not all comparisons fall within the framework of phraseology, as well as the traditional understanding in linguistics of the boundaries and scope of stable/figurative comparisons. There is also a special focus on two main features in comparative structures, namely their figurativeness and stability. The images that take on the role of comparatum are investigated, with emphasis on their potential innovation, as it is the components on the right side of the comparison that account for its figurativeness.

It examines linguistic units characterised not only by structural but also by lexical stability. An account is rendered for the predominance of anthroponyms, which represent a rich palette in the construction of similes as well as their significant uniformity in the rest of the phraseological groups.

Structures belonging to both the phraseological fund and the phraseological periphery will be examined as we aim at finding out in which fixed structures the phyto component is widely preferred and used as a lexeme. On the basis of our preliminary observations, the above are similes and paroemias-favoured in comparative structures as people use what is known and familiar to make comparisons, and in folklore because of their connection to the nation and its customs.

В настоящата статия се изследват пословиците и поговорките в
българския език, които са ориентирани около позитивното тематично поле. В
изследователския периметър попадат както тематичните кръгове, които генерират найголям брой пословици и поговорки, така и структурната организация и семантичната насоченост на паремиите. Основното, което рефлектира върху този тип единици, е мирогледът на българския народ.
Ключови думи: български пословици и поговорки, позитивно тематично поле.

The former are units characterized by a fixed structure and a stable lexical composition, but the possibility of new realia becoming a part of such units, signifies the development of the language. The outdated and unfamiliar is replaced by what is known and valid for current language users. The static character can be found in comparatums of zoological nature which have a leading role in both languages. The reason is that animals stand closest to man and he is the creator of such units.

Under research falls the Greek impact on the otonymic apelativization that affects the phraseological system of the Bulgarian language. 124 units with a lexicographic character are used in order to achieve the set goal. The process of apelativization of proper names is a phenomenon important not only to lexicology but also to areas of study such as syntax, linguoculturology, morphology, etc. On the other hand, the information carried by personal names has a specific character-it is connected to a particular object (person, locale, etc.).

These phraseological units display the human ability to identify ourselves with the closest and best known objects and creatures around us every day. Under examination here are: the metaphoric image of the animal in a comparative aspect, the connotation it suggests, the semantics etc.

Comparisons known to linguistics as sustainable rather than figurative seem to be the easiest way to understand the contemporary environment and new cultural idioms. Such constructions reveal individuals' associative thinking, which suggests that the comparisons can be viewed as both language facts and speech facts. The article introduces the lexico-grammatical characteristics of the components under scrutiny, framed by comparative constructions. The goal is to analyze their connotative quality, anthropocentric intentionality, and so on. Bulgarians have a rich associative thinking process that is evident from their use of similes or realia that take up the role of tertium comparationis. This type of thinking is subjected to the development of language, as well as society (introducing of new technologies, realia, appearance of new actors, popular among the contemporary generation, etc.). The research explores one of the main qualities of similestheir idiomatic nature, the possibility of reconsidering the elements that similes consist of. This quality becomes progressively unstable since it comprises the components to which the quality of beautiful/pretty is assignedi.e. tears, Aphrodite, roses, princesses, the sun, paintings, etc. At the same time, there are many similes that use an illogical image in the role of a comparatumi.e. worms, goblins, Quasimodo, etc. The current research will show that people focus both on the bad and imperfect qualities of those around them, and also on what is beautiful in their surroundings.
