| Résumé: | Following the fall of the totalitarian regime in Bulgaria in November 1989, new conditions for the democratization of economy, society, science and culture have emerged. The Bulgarian language evolved considerably, primarily in its oral forms and non-sanctioned expression. All these changes required in turn a reform of the language in harmony with the new political, socio‑economic and cultural modernization. Gradually, the issues of language were included in meetings of ministries, commissions, working groups, and in the Parliament. Efforts have been made to define criteria for what was to be considered right or wrong, to establish a system of transliteration and transcription adapted to modern life, and even to introduce a mandatory exam in Bulgarian to enter university or to work in the national administration. The aim of this article is to study, describe and analyse this process of linguistic change and development. In the beginning, it will examine the social factors that led to the current form of the Bulgarian language, the one that can be heard or read twenty-five years after the fall of the communist regime in Bulgaria. Next, it will consider the different linguistic levels and spheres and their evolution: grammatical (phonetics, morphology, syntax) and lexical (vocabulary, relationship between the standard language and the other systems and subsystems). All these observations are based on excerpts from official press-releases, from forums in newspapers and on Internet blogs, on the radio and television, and on spontaneous conversations heard or recorded in the street. |
