Linguistic Norm and Innovations in Nouns from the Middle Bulgarian Homiletic Cycle On the Seraphim, Translated by Dionisiy Divni

A comparative linguistic analysis of Middle Bulgarian noun paradigms reveals significant grammatical transformations and innovations in the 12th–14th centuries, particularly in texts linked to the Tarnovo Literary School. The study identifies a shift towards analyticism in Bulgarian language structure, with key changes documented across multiple manuscripts, including the 'Song of Songs' from Rila Monastery and works by Zacchaeus the Philosopher. Chronological tracking shows how these innovations emerged, bridging pre-Euthymian translations and later literary developments. The research underscores the dynamic evolution of standard Bulgarian, offering insights into its historical trajectory through synchronic examination of noun paradigms.
