Temporal Adverbs and Adverbial Expressions in a Corpus of Bulgarian and Ukrainian Parallel Texts

Ivan Derzhanski, Olena Siruk


Abstract
This paper presents a comparative bilingual corpus-based study of the use of several frequent temporal adverbs and adverbial expressions (‘always’, ‘sometimes’, ‘never’ and their synonyms) in Bulgarian and Ukrainian. The Ukrainian items were selected with the aid of synonym dictionaries of words and of set expressions, the corpus was used to identify their most common Bulgarian counterparts, and the frequencies of the correspondences were compared and scrutinised for possibly informative regularities.
