This paper tackles the so called “rhyme transfer”, which is a phenomenon, specific to translations of Russian rhymed poetry into Bulgarian. Different means of transferring the rhymes from the original poetic text to the translated text are discussed. Special attention is paid to the problems of retaining the type of the verse endings and the phonetic exactness of rhymes.

The paper discusses some major publications dealing with Mavro Orbini’s Il Regno degli Slavi and its translation in Russian by Sava Vladislavich, which in turn is one of the sources of Paisiy’s Istoria slavyanobalgarska. Works by numerous Slavicists and philologists provide comprehensive explorations on this subject. This paper mainly focuses on studies by Bulgarian and Italian scholars.

Against the background of a general lack of consensus regarding the definition of ‘wordplay’, the present study aims to outline a terminological and conceptual distinction between the ‘fuzzy’ concepts ‘language play’, ‘wordplay’ and ‘pun’ and to describe their hierarchical relations. A working definition of ‘wordplay’ is provided which takes into account not only the linguistic but also the cognitive aspects of this interesting phenomenon.

The paper briefly introduces Suggestopedia – basic publications on the topic and key formulations experimentally obtained by Prof. Lozanov, whereby the author’s main idea is to explore how Suggestopedia spread as far as China, how and in what directions Chinese educators have tried to apply this methodology over the years and how successful this has been. The conclusions are based on 200 found and researched publications – articles, dissertations, theses. Suggestopedia in China is applied not only in foreign language teaching (mainly English), but also in Chinese language and literature classes, mathematics, chemistry and even physical education classes.

The Bulgarian conjunction otkolkoto da isn’t listed among the conjunctive elements through which restrictive subordinate adverbial clauses (of exclusion, restriction etc.) are integrated in higherranking sentences within polypredicative subordinating syntactic structures. The conjunction otkolkoto da differs from the conjunction otkolkoto which introduces into the complex sentence other types of subordinate clauses – of comparison, according to some authors, or of degree, quantity and time according to others. The conjunction otkolkoto da is synonymous with the conjunctions vmesto da, namesto da. deto shte and the now dated nezheli da. Just like these, otkolkoto da joins only one of the varieties of restrictive – substitutive clauses to a genuine or situational main clause. Grouping them into a discrete subtype is justified above all on the basis of the unequivocally substitutive semantics of the first conjunctive element, which together with the conjunction da constitutes a subordinating type of conjunctive configuration.
