- Title
ENGLISH -ABLE/-IBLE ADJECTIVES AND THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN BULGARIAN.
- Authors
Anastasova, Maria
- Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to make a comparison between a group of English adjectives derived by means of the suffixes -able and -ible and the present passive participle in Bulgarian – a participle often classified as a verbal adjective in Bulgarian and with which the aforementioned adjectives are often translated. The paper attempts to provide evidence that these English adjectives are not only semantic but also functional equivalents to the Bulgarian present passive participle and finally raises the question whether the parallels drawn between the English -able/-ible adjectives and the Bulgarian present passive participle are ample evidence to differentiate a group of present passive participles in English.
