The study is based on a corpus consisting of excerpts from Bulgarian and Arabic texts. Ten samples, each of them of a hundred text words, taken from analogous texts in the two languages have been analysed. Definiteness in Bulgarian, judged by the average quantity (x = 14,2) occurs twice less than in Arabic (x = 27,5). The data have been obtained from Bulgarian texts translated into Arabic and from the original Arabic language practice. Whereas in Bulgarian the definite article exhibits a certain stability of occurrence, in Arabic the fluctuations are considerable. The definite article occurs within the limits of 17{\textendash}42. The average rate of occurrence of the definite morphemes in Bulgarian and Arabic differs considerably.}, author = {Михайлова, Стойка} }
