Ralitsa Demirkova

Ralitsa Demirkova serves as a Senior Lecturer at the Department of English and American Studies within the Faculty of Modern Languages at St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo. Holding a PhD, she specializes in Translation Studies and Comparative Linguistics with a focus on English-Bulgarian contrastive analysis.

Her research centers on theoretical and practical translation challenges, particularly wordplay, humour, and financial statement translation. Over the past six years, she has concentrated on linguistic nuances in cross-cultural contexts, publishing extensively on translatability barriers and creative solutions in specialized domains.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent emphasis on wordplay mechanics across literary genres. Recent works explore fairy tale narrative structures, problem-solving frameworks in translation, and comparative models for linguistic phenomena. Her scholarship frequently utilizes British children's literature (Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl) to demonstrate cross-linguistic complexities.

Dr. Demirkova contributed to the 2023 'Multicultural Dialogues: Translation and Literary Reception' project examining Spas Nikolov's translations of William Blake. While her student advising roles remain undocumented, her teaching encompasses business translation and linguistics for undergraduate programs.
