They have to deal with lexico-semantic, syntactic, pragmatic and cultural problems. This article focuses on John Harding\u2019s novel Florence &amp; Giles where the narrator is the 12-year-old Florence. She has created her own language by distorting words, e.g. nouns and adjectives are turned into verbs, nouns into adjectives, adverbs and prepositions into verbs, etc. These nonce words constitute Florence\u2019s fairly unusual style. Based on a parallel corpus of the original English novel and its Bulgarian translation, this research uses the contrastive method to analyze the intensely concentrated nonce words in the text and their equivalents in Bulgarian.<br \/>\n<em>Keywords:<\/em> nonce words (occasionalisms); parallel corpus; translation equivalents; Florence &amp; Giles<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/science.azbuki.bg\/en\/member-login\/\">Log in to read the full text<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Svetlana Nedelcheva Konstantin Preslavsky University of Shumen (Bulgaria) https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53656\/for21.22tran Abstract.
