This work is a slightly modified version of my master’s thesis of the same title (Mihova 2024) and deals with the nominal compounds of a selected early New Bulgarian text from the genre of Damascenes, the Sbornik of Pop Punčo (1796). The compounds of the 18th-century Damascenes will be examined, using the Sbornik as an example. Their greater independence from Greek (as opposed to the Old Church Slavonic texts) will be used to gain insights into the origins of the compound types and to determine whether, in addition to compounds borrowed from Greek, they also include compound types inherited from Proto-Indo-European. All compounds found in the Sbornik are collected, translated, and assigned to a compound type from a morpho- semantic perspective.
