Yat-alternation and the imperfect tense in Bulgarian. A rule-based analysis.Danil Khristov, 2022, published scientific conference contribution
Abstract: The paper proposes a rule-based feature analysis of the ya/e phenomenon in Bulgarian. Special attention
is paid to the variable ya/е observed in the forms of the imperfect tense. First and second-conjugation verbs whose
imperfect forms involve yat-alternation are compared with third-conjugation verbs where this alternation is not observed. The analysis also addresses the role of morphology in the process of adding different imperfect endings to
the verb base and the effect of these endings on the variable ya/e. Finally, the phonemic status of soft consonants is
discussed in relation to the proposed analysis.
