Българските адверзативни съюзи от типологично гледище

The article analyses the linguistic expression one of the basic semantic and semantic-pragmatic adversative relations, sometimes referred to as contrast. On the basis of a specific type of contrastive constructions, expressing so-called correction or repair, the author criticizes the inadequate presentation of the interchangeability of adversative conjunction ами/но in the Bulgarian linguistic literature. The goal is to offer an outline of the uses of the most important coordinating conjunction as lexical indicators of contrast in Bulgarian in a typological comparison with Russian, as a Slavic language, Rumanian, as a Balkan-Romance language, and German.
