Abstract

The paper discusses the inevitable problems in the process of transcription, adoption and use of everyday concepts, terms, and realia of Ancient Greek or Latin origin in the modern languages, focused on the case with the Bulgarian language.

Some examples of successful initiatives at Sofia University, Department of Classics, in this direction are also mentioned, as optional courses on the Bulgarian reception of vocabulary in different close areas, or working on projects, together with the students, devoted to the translation of ancient realia through a third language, for example English or French. The History of concepts – as an autonomous discipline in the field of Philosophy and History – is briefly introduced. The argument reads as follows:  by turning to its approach, Classical philology could make its own work with the audience more attractive and successful.
