Abstract |
The review examines the “Ethnolinguistic Dictionary of the Bulgarian Folk Medicine,” which has become a new stage in Bulgarian lexicography, dedicated to the study of various fragments of traditional culture from the point of view of the Ethnolinguistics. The objective of the work under review, referred to by the authors as an encyclopedia of traditional medicine, was their desire to outline the structure of rituals associated with treatment. This dictionary represents an experience in the semantic reconstruction of one of the blocks of the linguistic picture of the world of the Bulgarian people. The authors set themselves the goal of presenting a cultural tradition not only in its synchronic aspect, but also in its diachronic aspect, through the prism of the folk terminology. The concepts of “health” and “disease” were analyzed and their linguistic representations were presented both in medieval manuscript texts and in the dialects of all areas of the Bulgarian language, including Mysia, Thrace and Macedonia. An important contribution of the authors is the complete excerpt of linguistic data and the use in the dictionary of material from all classical manuscripts of the Old Slavonic language. |
