This article is a supplement to Nemeth (2015), in which the absolute and relative chronology of the 18th and 19th century Karaim sound changes was presented with the aim of reconstructing how Middle Western Karaim evolved into its two well-known Modern Western Karaim dialects. Most of the conclusions formulated in Nemeth (2015) are further confirmed in the present article, while a few have been slightly modified.

The contribution analyses some issues associated with the presence of English elements such as loan words in the Italian language school final exam in Bulgaria. It specifically concentrates on B2 level texts for listening comprehension and writing from the past three years. Drawing from the examination committee’s insights, the article presents a theoretical discussion regarding anglicisms and a quantitative analysis of a specific didactic and examination context.
