Hi

Гергана Апостолова is my name in Bulgarian which is my mother tongue. The name is the feminine of George and bears reference to Gaya, the Greek goddes of Earth. It is pronounced [gergána] and is transparent carmine with shades of purple and sunny grey-blue and mist white.

My name day is May 6th and my birthday is January 25th.

I am a professor of English and that means that I give my lectures in English using British English for the lectures in English Literature, British Cultural Studies, Stylistics and Theories of the Metaphor, and American English for the lectures in American Literature, English and the Internet, American Cultural Studies. For the courses in Rhetoric, Translation studies and Philosophy of language, however, I use Bulgarian-English Interlanguage speckled with some Latin, Greek, French, German and Russian, formal logic signs, some drawings and figures and some Gabelsberger-Bezenshek stenography.

The reason for my enlisting into Wikipedia is that my students and my colleagues seem to rely heavily on it as a starting resource for their academic investigations. So, I thought: "Why not helping a bit with information I have read in books or other sources or lived through..." I have logged in on a sheer impulse while reading an article on Beowulf. I am interested in human existence in the unlimited future and in its nearest frontiers such as ecology, death, technology and telling tales mind to mind.
