Totalitarian Newspeak
Balkanistic Forum

The socio-political context of the press and the new relations between orality and literacy because of the domination of the new elite (mainly of village origin and with low education) have been outlined. The text analysis discovers the duality of the themes, the centralized and passive sources of the texts, new genres and the new imagery explained by some psychoanalytical concepts. The structure of the newspeak changed considerably with logoside and intensive production of neologisms, especially abbreviations, abundance of euphemisms and doublethinks which aim at closing the thought in vicious circles.

From the sociolinguistic point of view the processes of language planning and policy during the different stages – pan-Islamism, pan – Turkism and Azerbaijanism, have been analysed. Special attention has been payed to the European influences on the culture and alphabet choice in Azerbaijan. The processes of cultural and language engineering in USSR during the time of building pseudo –nations defined by Stalin with the ambivalent notion „socialist in content and national in form„ has been analysed with special emphasis on the reasons for changing alphabets – Arabic, Latin, Cyrillic, and again Latin.
ON SEX, GENDER AND SEXISM IN THE BULGARIAN CULTURE AND LANGUAGE, 2021
The paper is provoked by the rejection and falsification of the messages of the Istanbul Conventi... more The paper is provoked by the rejection and falsification of the messages of the Istanbul Convention in Bulgaria and other post-communist countries which caused a wave of homophobia. The author tries to prove that neither in the communist period nor in the post-communist period a real emancipation of women was achieved, the theme of homosexuality was a taboo (in the communist period), over-presented in the first decade of the transition and later stigmatize by the rise of the populist nationalistic discourse. During the communist period, the so called "Unions of the fighters against fascism" turned into the male clientelistic networks granted with many privileges and marginalizing female antifascists. The critical discourse analysis of the press (1976) reveals male dominance and silencing of women playing mostly a decorative role. After the democratic changes the same male actors (nomenclature and former state security officers) benefited from the privatization, but the so called "mugs" (wrestlers) presented the new masculinity in the media: women were extremely sexualized and the new femininity was presented by the prostitutes and the girls in the entertaining industry, the professional women were rarely mentioned. The second part of the paper is a gender analysis of the lexical and grammatical system of the Bulgarian language. The analysis of the dominating metaphors reveals the means of male dominance in the everyday speech. Although the Slav languages have morphemes to denote women's professions the media discourse prefers the male forms as more prestigious. The definite article and the plural forms serve to emphasise the male forms and to provide their euphony. Въведение Подтик да напиша тази статия ми даде отхвърлянето и фалшифицирането на посланията на Истанбулската конвенция 1 в претендиращия за патриотичен публичен дискурс като заплашваща устоите на семейството, пропагандираща хомосексуалност, гей бракове и всичко това обобщено от плашещата дума джендър (англ. gender-род), разграничаваща биологичен пол (sex) от социален пол (gender). Джендърът разграничава социалната полова идентичност на жените и мъжете от биологичната и включва и сексуалните малцинства. Да се твърди, че чистачката и собственичката на компания поради общия си биологичен пол имат една и съща социалнополова идентичност е неоснователно, колкото и да се твърди, че жените в Саудитска Арабия и САЩ имат също еднакви полови идентичности. Поразително е, че в Конвенцията (около 30 страници) само веднъж и само в един абзац се употребяват думите "социален пол" (gender) и "сексуална ориентация", докато в останалата част се поставя основната цел: "Да защитава жените от всички форми на насилие, преследва и премахва насилието над жени и домашното насилие". Конвенцията посочва уязвимите групи, които могат да са обект на социална дискриминация и насилие: Без всякаква дискриминация, основана на пол, цвят на кожата, социален пол, раса, език, религия, политически или други убеждения, национален или социален произход, принадлежност към национални малцинства, имуществено състояние, рождение, сексуална ориентация, идентичност, основана на пола, възраст, здравословно състояние, увреждания, семейно положение, статут на мигрант или бежанец, или на друг статут 2 .
