The obsolescence of the phenomenon is considered as well as possible foreign influence on it. Its similarities and differences in particular Balkan languages are pointed out. A conclusion is made that the phenomenon discussed has different frequency in the different Balkan languages (higher in Albanian and Modern Greek in comparison with Bulgarian and Romanian) which is indicative of its polygenesis.}, author = {Петя Асенова and Кацори, Тома and Дукова, Уте} } @article {Кацори1984, title = {Към характеристиката на тайните говори в България}, journal = {Съпоставително езикознание / Сопоставительное языкознание / Contrastive linguistics}, volume = {9}, year = {1984}, pages = {29{\textendash}43}, abstract = {The paper is based on speech samples from the secret professional jargon of the masons, in the South Western part of Bulgaria. The first part of the paper discusses some basic rules for the formation of lexicons in similar social dialect types. These are lexical borrowing from neighbouring languages, metaphoric and pejorative usage, independent word-formation, semantic calques, etc. The second part of the paper presents an etymological analysis of the lexicon of the secret jargon under discussion. Some existing etymologies have been expanded and/or corrected and some new ones have been proposed.}, author = {Кацори, Тома and Дукова, Уте and Петя Асенова} }
