  The discourse of ‘Ich-Erzählung’ creates visibility, or an autobiographical narrative,
  where the author narrates the more famous classical texts on the theme of ‘love as strong as
  death’. The narration of stories is based on the principle of the repeatability of individual
  thematic units built on similarities and contrasts. The text that is being created does not translate into an autonomous story about Maria Leopoldovna, but it exposes the technique of reminiscence poetics. Quotes and auto-quotes form or create a peculiar language of the major art,
  where the names of Turgenev and Tolstoy are markers of the story. Turgenev’s subtext is
  connected with the way meaning is constructed in the story, which is told about love that has
  never come true but is remembered all one’s my life.

  The present paper deals with the problem of how cultural meanings are perceived in S. L.
  Frank’s social theory. His conception lies between two main paths of sociological thought:
  Durkheim’s cognition of social facts as objective phenomena on the one hand, and Weber’s
  cognition of subjective meanings of personal actions, on the other. In his theory Frank concentrates
  on the concept of objective forming idea-force, which resembles the concept of
  social fact in its quality of exerting pressure on individual consciousness and volition, but it
  should be brought into harmony with interpretive methodology. In Frank’s view social ideas
  are regarded as a force forming social relations and therefore lie in the foundation of social
  institutions. These are, for example, ideas of state, of family, of friendship and so on. Social
  ideas are connected with the consciousness of the individual by their moral force. That is
  why such ideas are accepted by the individual at the emotional level of his spiritual life,
  because they believe that these ideas are true and organize their meanings and activities according
  to them. Thus social meanings of moral good or evil in human relations and in the
  social structure arise. At the same time they signify the emergence of sacred phenomena in
  society. Human beings, according the Frank’s theory, have an internal need to be possessed
  by the sacred senses that give them the feeling of the participation in the implementation of
  the transcendent goals. Society is an objective living idea which provides sacred meanings
  for the individual. On the whole, a society’s life is formed by the historically specific complex
  of ideas that are freely accepted or rejected by individuals and determine their feelings and
  behavior. There is no contradiction between personal freedom, creativity and social structure
  in S. Frank’s theory. The author of the present paperfinds similarities between S.Frank’s ideas
  and the fundamentals of cultural sociology.

  Analogy plays a significant role in problem solving, as well as in decision making, argumentation, perception, generalization, memory, creativity, invention, prediction, emotion, explanation, conceptualization, and communication. Analogy is important not only in ordinary language and common sense (where proverbs and idioms give many examples of its application) but also in science, philosophy, law, and the humanities. Still, in linguistics it causes many uncertainties. The main purpose of this work is to study and examine the principles of Natural Morphology on the historical change of Bulgarian verbs. This study is a summary of how grammatical rules and analogy, and their antithesis dissolve in the theory of Natural Morphology. The focus of the paperis the historical variation of the Bulgarian Aorist.
