/View.data/ Could 24 is coming quickly. There’ll once more be celebrations and speeches in honor of the Holy Brothers Cyril and Methodius. However we nonetheless will not open a phrase towards the foreigners, we nonetheless will not admit that for the final quarter of a century we have truly been destroying their work, and we cannot ask ourselves whether or not we need to have a good time this vacation.
In recent times, eras have modified in our nation, and every new period comes with its personal language. The English language travels around the globe and its entry into our on a regular basis life is an goal, in some elements – and helpful course of. However we adopted this language in such a sloppy and orderly method that we turned the entire course of into violence towards the Bulgarian speech and melting down of our personal language. In fact, a major a part of the foreigners coming into our nation by the English language produce other origins – Greek, Latin and French. However that does not make them any much less harmful to the preservation of our language or what’s left of it.
We, the media, are one of many major channels for the alien invasion. After November 10, data boundaries fell and we started to speak freely with the world’s main English-language media. At first of the 90s, the whole lot began innocently, even with the passion that we have been touching one thing new, that we have been refreshing and enriching the then boring literature. However little by little we swallowed a lot that we did not really feel when the difficulty started to ravage the Bulgarian speech. Thus, the “high information” changed the main, the main, the primary information, and subsequently the “high” started to thunder all over the place – with high politicians, high artists, high athletes, high fashions and so forth. Left and proper the “killer” killed the killer. The “nominee” for any award has rejected any proposal, submission or nomination for a similar award. The “promotion” kicks within the sale, the supply, the low cost, the low cost, the commercial, and even the advice relying on the case (only a few of our choices). “Casting” squandered the take a look at photographs, and “disposal” the utilization. Goal, topless, primetime, poster, slogan, photographs, promoters, aftershocks, afterparties, verifications, artwork tasks and happenings appeared. All of Bulgaria watches soccer, however in feedback, particularly on the English championship, there’s a mass mutilation of Bulgarian phrases. The phrases “midfielder” or “again” have been additionally used at one time, however then the starters have been a midfielder and a full-back. Nevertheless, now, as a consequence of “language accidents” on the a part of the commentators, these phrases of ours have misplaced their profession. The identical is the case of the phrase zapalyanko, in addition to of a championship – now it’s a marketing campaign, regardless of that this phrase has a totally totally different that means in our language. Now the protection or offense is known as “defensive plan” or “offensive plan”, additionally known as guarding, refereeing, aiding. Just lately, I heard that the facet choose will probably be reformatted to “linesman”. Maybe the colleagues are afraid that in the event that they use our phrases, we are going to suspect them of not understanding about soccer and never understanding English? Effectively, allow them to relax that they’re messing with the suspicions.
Other than nonsense like “salad dressing”, “intensification of considerations” or “motion groups”, the blind dealing with of the English language results in way more harmful issues. In some media, the Bulgarian translation sounds unusual to our ears, not solely due to the overseas phrases, but additionally due to the English phrase order, rhythm, and even punctuation. With them, the Bulgarian language already turns into like English, as if he had taken a British passport. This is an instance: “He was tracked to the resort, the place ammunition and medicines related to him have been additionally discovered.”
This similar sentence can also be an instance of misinformation – the opposite harmful consequence of mishandling language. Confusion of the ideas of ammunition and ammunition is commonly discovered amongst us, the media. Sure, ammuniton is ammunition (ammunition) or technique of warfare. However in our language, ammunition has preserved the Latin that means and means equipment for a horse – bridles, saddle belts, driving reins, harness. And it seems that the legal “was tracked to the resort, the place bridles and medicines related to him have been additionally discovered”.
On this respect, nonetheless, the height is the case of the shot “uncle” of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Many of the media took uncle at face worth and offered the individual in query as an uncle. However the individual in query is Kim’s aunt’s husband and within the Bulgarian language there are a number of names for such a class of individual – svako, kaleko, lelincho. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as a English language. Nevertheless, we’ve got used the overseas follow, which on this case utterly distorts the that means, though it isn’t itself responsible. Nevertheless, this isn’t solely misinformation, but additionally a self-inflicted killing of our mom tongue. Ask a younger Bulgarian from the large cities what this svako, lelincho or kaleko is. Not solely will most of them not know, however they are going to frown as if they’re seeing one thing disagreeable. Excuse me, however is not it a bit sacrilegious to have a good time Could twenty fourth?
Politicians, administration and public figures even have a fantastic sin towards the Bulgarian language. From them began the mistaken idea of digital authorities – e-government, nonetheless, means digital administration, not e-government. Primarily due to the politicians, emigrating turned emigrating, and settling turned immigrating, they speak about artistic politics, initiation, debate, imaginative and prescient, escalation, dominance, beneficiaries, tons, constellations and so forth.
The phrases hater, loser, pal, occasion, cool, style, feeling, city, temper, expertise, appointment, gamer infrequently go away the vocabulary of youngsters – that is the tip consequence after 1 / 4 of a century of English-language invasion within the territory of Bulgarian speech. Irrespective of how a lot I repair my 10-year-old son, he drives her to timeout, improve, replace, teenager. It is the identical along with his classmates.
Language was created for communication and attending to know one another – that is its goal. Exactly due to this, 12 centuries in the past, Cyril and Methodius created the Cyrillic alphabet. Nevertheless, what is going on now: “Once I take heed to younger folks, I typically do not perceive what they’re saying. There’ll come a time once we will be unable to seek out the Bulgarian phrase, however for us, the Bulgarians who reside right here, that point won’t be very far,” the philology affiliate professor Tatiana Borisova from Sofia College shared with me. And that is what most Bulgarians over 50 suppose. Due to our misunderstood Europeanization, overseas worship and our infamous nihilism, the menace may be very actual. Due to the foreigners, we’re turning Bulgarian into an anti-language – it’s already changing into a barrier to communication between us, the Bulgarians. And it is no surprise that after about 20-30 years, the foreigners staying in our nation ask themselves once they take heed to our speech: “Why are they referred to as Bulgarians”.
What Could 24 may we be speaking about?
One of many courses that ought to hold the preservation of our language is exactly the linguists. However there is no such thing as a consensus amongst them. The language divide relies on age – older folks suppose that our language is endangered, youthful folks have the other opinion. Nevertheless, cannot the luminaries of linguists collect and subject a particular fee that every year, for instance on Could 24, will publish a examine (or a listing) of incoming foreigners and their Bulgarian expression? This record could be despatched to establishments, media, academic establishments, cultural establishments, numerous organizations. This fee may turn into a language legislator, though its examine (or record) could be advisory reasonably than obligatory. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as a such fee but, and is not this as a result of disagreement among the many class? The result’s that the Bulgarian language is dying out.
The opposite class that must be within the purity of our language is the journalists. Cannot the media homeowners get organized, accumulate a number of levs every for the compilation of a program for foreigners and their Bulgarian variations, which could be entered into each editorial pc? And with a click on or two, they will pop into the related product – data, remark, web page, information feed, broadcast script, and so on. And why should not there be an award for a pleasant and clear Bulgarian language within the media? Televisions, nonetheless, may spend a whole lot of airtime on language points. In addition to, it isn’t needed that the measures and undertakings be precisely or solely these, they could be different. Nevertheless, there is no such thing as a such factor, it isn’t even potential. Effectively then, on what grounds will we cowl Could 24?
Schooling is one other, if not an important, space for the purity of our language. Nevertheless, do you bear in mind the final 20 years that the Ministry of Schooling and Tradition have shared a marketing campaign or developed at the least one program towards foreigners? And in faculties, do the lecturers right the youngsters once they hear a overseas language from them? The way to study English – by writing a phrase at the least 20 instances. Do our lecturers make our kids write the Bulgarian phrase of the overseas language 20 instances at school or for homework, which they heard from them – both at school or throughout recess. If we have made it this far!…20 instances “break” on timeout, 20 instances “improve” or “increase” on improve, 20 instances “teenage” on teenager. It sounds compelled, however a certain quantity of coercion shouldn’t be superfluous for kids, and the Bulgarian phrase will stay of their heads. By the best way, allow them to be totally different, however nonetheless there are.
And will we mother and father right our baby each time we hear a overseas phrase from his mouth? Aren’t there already dangerously many younger households who make their youngsters examine a overseas language far more and neglect Bulgarian? Have you ever additionally heard of a non-governmental group created particularly to defend the purity of the Bulgarian language?
12 centuries in the past, what did the Thessaloniki brothers do – they broke the monolingualism of the empire, by which the official language was Greek, and so they created an alphabet for the Slavs. In a phrase, they paved the best way for multilingualism. However now we’re doing the precise reverse – killing our mom tongue or multilingualism and clearing the best way for monolingualism. And this occurs with the entire inaction of the state, society, residents.
Do we actually need to have a good time Could twenty fourth after destroying the work of the Holy Brothers?
That moron, what does he need, ought to we swim towards the present, many will say. Effectively, let’s not swim towards the present, however then let’s not have a good time Could 24 both. It is fairer that manner.
Nevertheless, even when we secretly suppose so, we are going to proceed to have a good time this date, as a result of we “wash” our responsible conscience in order that we not disguise the work of these we in any other case name “Holy Brothers”.
