ADAPTATION OF TURKISH LOANWORDS IN THE WALLACHIAN DIALECT OF BREGOVO (VIDIN REGION)

International audienceThe research examines the model of the phonetic adaptation of Turkish loanwords in the Wallachian dialect of Bregovo (Vidin region). Here a comparative analysis is made about the acquirement of lexemes ending in -e in the Wallachian dialect of Bregovo, in the official Bulgarian language (BL) and in the official Romanian language (RL). It has been proved that in the Wallachian dialect of Bregovo and in the official Romanian language the model is identical – the final Turkish vowel “e” is replaced by “a”, following a soft consonant (in the Romanian language it is marked by the grapheme “ea”). The presence of this group of nouns in the Romanian language and in the Wallachian dialect of Bregovo is evidence of the existence of soft consonants in the two linguistic formations – official and dialect. At the same time, in the Wallachian dialect of Bregovo the model is productive for new words with a foreign origin that came through the Bulgarian language
