- Abstract
The present paper aims at presenting the scientific work "A Reference Book on the Aspect of Bulgarian Verbs" published in 2019. The reference book is intended for foreign students studying Bulgarian but it may as well be a precious guide and a practical handbook for all who are interested in learning and teaching Bulgarian. The idea for writing and publishing this reference book was motivated by the strife of the author to facilitate the acquisition of the language. The reference book begins with brief theoretical comments on the Bulgarian verb. They are presented in a concise and adapted manner with a minimum use of linguistic terminology (with a view to the practical aim of the handbook and the specificity of the audience to which it is directed at). The presence of tables and schemes in the reference book is deliberate since the purpose of the handbook is to provide a quick reference and to make the memorizing of key concepts and verb forms easier. The reference book includes the most common and traditional concepts as well as the most contemporary ideas of the Bulgarian linguistics. Reference to the literature used is included. A list of more than 150 pairs of verbs in the perfective and imperfective aspect arranged in an alphabetical order in a table is included in "A Reference Book on the Aspect of Bulgarian Verbs". The verbs in these pairs are used quite frequently in Bulgarian speech. The selection is consistent with Bulgarian language learning by foreign students in their first year of studies from the specialties in Medicine, Dental Medicine and Pharmacy and corresponds to A1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Verbs are not translated into another language but there is an additional blank column in which each foreign student can write a translation equivalent. The illustrative manner of grammar knowledge with appropriate verb forms arranged in tables was quite consciously chosen. The basic pairs of antonyms in the groups of the conjugated verbs are presented with the aim of optimizing the process of mastery of the verbs. The tense system of the Bulgarian language is presented through the nine tenses in it illustrated with examples from the three conjugations. The reference book presents some of the specificities of the Bulgarian verb in a more comprehensible manner and most of all the category verb aspect which is difficult and complex to teach and explain. For the first time the aspect's functioning is illustrated with examples which are included simultaneously for the two verb aspects. Practical advice for the determination of the verb aspect is supplied and key words and expressions for "identifying" the perfective and imperfective aspect are derived. The connection between the aspect and the verb tense is also presented. "A Reference Book on the Aspect of Bulgarian Verbs" is a valuable tool for all who are interested in studying and teaching the Bulgarian language.
