Obščefaktičeskoe značenie NSV v častnom voprose v bolgarskom jazyke.

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the general-factual meaning of the imperfective verbs in specific questions in Bulgarian. As is well known, the specific questions with IPVF verbs are aimed to clarify the circumstances and the participants of the situation, while the action is presupposed to have happened and the result of the action is inferred from the context. In addition, in Bulgarian beside the problem of choosing the aspectual form (perfective or imperfective) there is the problem of choosing the verb tense: perfect or aorist. In this paper, the general-factual meaning of the imperfective verbs is analyzed in relation to the specifics meaning of past tenses (perfect and aorist), along with the grammatical categories of noun (number, gender or noun class, definiteness, noun’s reference status), which, in their turn, can influence the choice of tense-aspect form.
