L’argot et le langage familier dans la chanson contemporaine bulgare

Gueorgui Armianov

This article paints a detailed picture of the history and contemporary state of popular songs in Bulgaria, from the beginning of the XX^th century to the present day. Several types of modern music and their lyrics are examined: city songs, pop and rock songs since the 1960s, as well as hip-hop and pop folk songs from the last several decades. Examples of various non-standard language forms, collected from publications, Internet videos and during concerts are analysed. The grammatical, lexical, semantic and stylistic characteristics of this specific type of non-traditional literature are compared to the standard language. The study describes the growing influence of slang and colloquial language on the language practice of Bulgarians.
