inflection, the specific uses of nominal verb
forms, of verb tenses in indicative and
conjunctive, of their agreement and combination
within the complex sentence and text, of the
means of expressing aspectality, pledge and

with direct speech, indirect speech and semi-direct
speech; techniques for expanding and
compressing a simple and complex sentence,
transformations.
Translation from/to Portuguese:
The selection of texts is reduced to excerpts from
original works of contemporary Portuguese and
Bulgarian authors without significant lexical
complexity, oriented above all to the already
analyzed grammatical issues and active
vocabulary. Emphasis is placed mainly on
grammatical interpretation and the denotative
(rather than connotative) dimension of the lexical
component, and the problematization of stylistic
differentiation is avoided.

productive competence through means of
expression and structures characteristic of written
