Évolution du lexique socioprofessionnel en bulgare après 1989.

This article provides an analysis of the changes observed in the Bulgarian vocabulary during the years after the fall of the communist regime in 1989. It is based on the current state of the language and it pays particular attention to the modification of civility titles and terms linked to different professional and social sectors. The socio-professional vocabulary that is analyzed is taken from lexicographical works and electronic sources, such as job sites respecting the national and international standard classification of professions and trades and newspapers specialized in the field of economics and finance. The study of these written sources is complemented by observations on the common language practices of the speakers. After an overview of the constitution of the socio-professional vocabulary with regard to the general evolution of modern Bulgarian, the selected corpus is analyzed in two steps. It is related, on the one hand, to the lexical fields reflecting major transformations in Bulgarian society after 1989. It is examined, on the other hand, in terms of the neological methods implemented in the composition of the socio-professional terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
