THE IDIOLECT OF REVEREND ECONOMOS DIMITAR POPNIKOLOV PETKANOV
Get PDFA less studied talented author and brother of the popular fiction writer Konstantin Petkanov, priest
Dimitar wrote in the 1950s. This publication analyzes several parameters of his idiolect: phonetic peculiarities (reflex of ѣ, ѫ,
ъ; epenthetic [l]; reflexes of the [tʃ] [dʒ] groups; phonetic dialectisms; phonetic doublets); morphological paradigm (case
inflections; noun form for number; dualis; nomina collectiva; extended Church Slavonic suffix for adjectives; dialectal and
contracted pronoun forms; a temporal system characterized by high frequency of the verbs in terms of origin, distribution and
stylistic differentiation); lexical specifics (in terms of origin, distribution and stylistic differentiation). Emphasis is placed on
those lexical layers that constitute and ditinguish the author’s language. Hapaxes (produced using morphological and non-
morphological methods), rare words, semantic transponents, dialectisms, colloquial vocabulary and foreign words are studied.
All linguistic phenomena are examined retrospectively and in comparison with the synchronous linguistic situation before and
after the orthographic reform of 1945 in order to highlight the innovative contribution and the mechanisms through which the
author enriched the contemporary Bulgarian vocabulary. Occasionalisms, dialectal and archaic units occur more often in
Petkanov’s poetic works than in his fiction. The source material has been excerpted from Volume 1 (January – March) and
Volume 2 (April – June) of the hagiographic tetralogy “The Year of Our Lord“ and the memoir “A Book about My Brother –
the Writer Konstantin N. Petkanov“, which were published a few years ago by Dimitar Petkanov’s heirs
Imperium Militiae(I)
No full textThe most common idea in Romance studies is that Romans, as practical people, didn’t conduct theoretical research on their country or their army, but they gradually built them both. Meanwhile, they reformed and upgraded it, so that they could respond to the challenges of their age. Moreover, the basis of their research was not explicit doctrines, or prior concepts, in fact they used their own, or the experience of others, to find concrete solutions to daily problems. Just as the Hellenic romanophile Polibius (200-120 B.C), in his work Historia, asks the crucial question: ”Is it possible to have such an unreliable man who is not interested in how the Romans, with their unicipal structure, managed to conquer the whole world”? - in the same way the author of this paper, as much as its content allows, humbly and unpretentiously tries to answer the crucial question: “What kind of military structure
created and defended one of the biggest and most enduring empires in world’s history, and what rules governed it”
COVID-19 and corporate finance resilience
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic had significant global negative effects and posed significant challenges to corporate financial management. Firms that were more adaptable and robust achieved superior financial performance, underscoring the importance of resilience in corporate finance. Financial reserves, including cash holdings, played a substantial role in financial resilience serving as a buffer against negative external and internal shocks. Flexible investments and financing were another source of stability, enabling a quicker response to a rapidly changing environment. Furthermore, the accelerated pace of digitalization and the application of sustainable development principles also aided firms in navigating the crisis period more effectively. Overall, greater corporate financial resilience is essential for the successful long-term development of the company
Regulation of credit rating agencies - different views and solutions
Get PDFCredit rating agencies are an important element of the informational financial infrastructure, which is essential for the stability of the financial system. In the absence of conflicts of interest and the importance of the established reputation for the rating agencies, self-regulation is sufficient to guarantee high-accuracy ratings. The payment for ratings by issuers and their use in financial regulations create distorted incentives to pursue higher profits at the expense of the quality of ratings. The demonstrated failures of the rating agencies confirm the need for strict regulations to restore investor confidence in the ratings
Measuring financial infrastructure development
Get PDFThe financial infrastructure, as foundation of financial transactions, is a key factor for financial and economic development.

Values of the Index of Financial Infrastructure (IFI) show different levels of development across countries, regions and income levels
