Abstract The aim of the paper is to introduce the author's observations on the influence that English has on the Bulgarian forum "Netspeak" for women living in the USA. The collected data for the investigation are excerpted from a Bulgarian forum platform. The emphasis is on code-switching, one of the main topics in sociolinguistics; as well as on the interlanguage, which is a result of the penetration of some elements from English into the first language of communicators. The orthography may also be influenced as in Bulgaria the Cyrillic alphabet is used. The informal situation is a prerequisite for the mixed style use, especially in vocabulary. Different topics have been observed and discussed by users in the forum: the choice of baby accessories; baggage loss in airports; child diseases, child physical and mental development, etc. The investigated forum discussion includes 52,020 lexical items. Excerpted English words are few - only 1.5%. Most of them are nouns because of their easy grammatical adaptation. The verb group is not affected so noticeably. The Bulgarian verbal system is very complicated and English verbs used in Bulgarian context are grammatically adapted. There are some exceptions when people use ready-made constructions like idioms and phrasal verbs.

互联网论坛交流中的保加利亚英语代码转换:BG-mamma案例

摘要本文的目的是介绍作者对英语对保加利亚居住在美国的女性论坛“ Netspeak”的影响的看法。所收集的调查数据摘自保加利亚论坛平台。重点是代码转换,这是社会语言学的主要主题之一。以及中介语,这是英语中的某些元素渗透到交流者的第一语言的结果。正字法也可能会受到影响,因为在保加利亚使用西里尔字母。非正式的情况是混合使用风格的前提,尤其是在词汇方面。用户在论坛中观察到并讨论了不同的主题:婴儿配件的选择;机场的行李丢失;儿童疾病,儿童身心发展等 被调查的论坛讨论包括52,020个词汇项目。摘录的英语单词很少-只有1.5%。由于它们易于语法调整,因此大多数都是名词。动词组不会受到太大影响。保加利亚的言语系统非常复杂,保加利亚语中使用的英语动词在语法上经过了调整。人们使用成语和短语动词等现成的构造时会有一些例外。
