summary - deeprichastie

[Milena Slavcheva]

        Thanks to all who responded to the question about the best term in
English for Bulgarian deeprichastie.What came out, in fact, was a real
discussion. It was very good and was very useful.
        Since most of the answers were distributed to all Seelangers, I am
not going to write a detailed summary, but I will tell you my conclusion.
        I choose "adverbial participle" as the most suitable term. It fits
best the model of the Bulgarian Morphological Dictionary I am working on.
The "deeprichastie" is a member of the verbal paradigm and it should bear a
name typical for a verbal form. In our tradition "participle" is the name
used for the respective non-finite form, and "adverbial" refers to the
properties of deeprichastie - it is non-inflectable and its role in the
sentence is very much like that of an adverb.

        Best regards to all,
Milena Slavcheva
