The present paper is an attempt to systematize the linguistic means for apologizing in modern Bulgarian. According to the typology proposed by Renate Rathmayr the Bulgarian apologies are divided in two main groups: explicit and implicit ones. A detailed description of the use of apologies depending on the social roles of interlocutors is also provided in the paper.

The article represents the actual situation in spoken Bulgarian language concerning the use of questions as indirect speech acts. Conclusions base on data, collected from Bulgarian broadcasting (radio and television) during the last four years (2010-2013). The analysis of the empirical data shows that different pragmatic and sociolinguistic factors may dominate in the spoken media communication and determine what the speaker chooses – whether an indirect or a direct speech act.
