TY - CHAP A1 - Meier, Eva A1 - Kuehnast, Milena T1 - Storytelling and retelling in Bulgarian: a contrastive perspective on the Bulgarian adaptation of MAIN T2 - New language versions of MAIN: Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives - revised / Natalia Gagarina & Josefin Lindgren (Eds.). Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft: ZAS papers in linguistics ; Nr. 64 N2 - Bulgarian belongs to the South Slavic language group but exhibits specific linguistic features shared with the non-Slavic languages of the Balkan Sprachbund. In this paper, we discuss linguistic and cultural aspects relevant for the Bulgarian adaptation of the revised English version of The Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives (LITMUS-MAIN). We address typological properties of the verbal system pertaining to a differentiated aspectual system and to a paradigm of verbal forms for narratives grammaticalized as renarrative mood in Bulgarian. Further, we consider lexical, derivational and discourse cohesive means in contrast to the English markers of involvement and perspective taking in the MAIN stories.
