Съпоставително описание на категорията лице (в българския, сърбохърватския и полския език)

The article presents some theoretical and methodological principles, which can be applied in the contrastive analysis of the category of person. The attempt at defining the semantic category of person shows that its description should be based on an explicit discrimination between the pragmatic and the semantic level. Besides, if a complete list of the formal means of expressing semantic communicative roles is to be compiled, that is only possible within the framework of a description on the semantic level. The second part of the article shows a possible approach to the contrastive analysis of linguistic material from different languages (Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian and Polish) in terms of the category of person.
