Previous years

Over the past thirty years Contrastive Linguistics featured works by outstanding scholars from Bulgaria and a number of other countries. To this day many foreign colleagues insist that their article or review be published in this journal and no other. It was in Contrastive Linguistics that many young Ph.D. students, budding lecturers and researchers saw their first scholarly articles published.
On many occasions the journal has received high praise coming from world famous experts in the field. We shall quote just two typically congratulatory comments:

“Congratulations for this excellent journal, arguably the best journal of contrastive linguistics ever!”
Eugenio Coseriu [for many years member of the Advisory Board of the journal]

“I wish your journal future fruitful work so that it maintains the high prestige it enjoys in academic circles for many years to come.”
Tamara Repina [a distinguished Romance languages scholar]

We express our deepest gratitude to all our authors, past and present, to editors, reviewers, translators, proof-readers, technical assistants, to the management of the two philological faculties of Sofia University, to a long line of Rectors of the university and their staff, to the management, staff and friends from St. Kliment Ohridski University Press, – all of whom have made possible the existence of Contrastive Linguistics and have contributed to its high standing extending back over more than thirty years.

Thirty years is a venerable age for a periodical. Let us hope that there are many more fruitful years of creative work ahead!
