The features related to key aspects of public speaking, how successful they are and whether they meet the requirement of a high linguistic culture, what are the particularities at the phonetic level and what their role is, are considered.

The publicly demonstrated (not only) verbal aggression stands as a fundamental scar of hate speech, which is clearly used in political slogans, political expression and speeches as well as other instances all of which are the object of this research. The conclusion to which one reaches is that, through the conscious use of hate speech, radical nationalism has reached its peak and has resulted in starting serious conflicts especially on the basis of politics, faith, race and ethnicity. The misuse of harmful lexical and semantic units reaches the threshold of tolerance amongst the public space. Like this Hrisi Avgi suffer their downfall and are removed from the Greek parliament. **Key words**: rhetoric, Hrisi Avgi, neonazism, hate speech, conflicts, Greek parliament.

Not surprisingly the reception of Homer creates a constructive field for the critical thinking in the cultural situation in the Bulgarian national Revival. The new type of readership builds up from the self-knowledge of the new type of literary criticism. **Key words:**Bulgarian Revival, Homer’s reception, literary criticism, popular textbook literature, Bulgarisation (adaptation), enlightenment purposes, scientific reflection.

The Slavonic translation is preserved in numerous manuscripts. The excerption of the first three sermons of the representative codexes (Zograf 134 and St. Troyko Sergieva Lavra 100) is limited to the compounds without any divergences between two copies.

We continue the tradition of publishing the scientific contributions only of young linguists - students and doctoral candidates, who are now taking their first steps in science. The task is very difficult and therefore deserves the efforts and patience. A linguist is shaped as a scientist throughout his life, but the first steps are of great importance for his development. Unlike other journals that claim to be intended for texts by young researchers, but fail for various reasons, our journal holds the line to print the scientific contributions of young humanities linguists, understanding this as a real concern for the next generations of scientists who must declare their presence in the field of science. And as a scale in working with young researchers. This article is only available in Bulgarian. Please see it on our website.
