Abstract

The current paper examines the mechanism by means of which personification and spiritualization in Bulgarian literature are achieved. We have proven with a lot of examples that the different levels – phonetic, lexical, morphological and syntactic interact to build up those literary devices. Some observations are included about the function of the category of gender in connection with those devices.

Key words: personification, spiritualization, the category of gender
