Explain why a license to publish is both a literal and figurative statement?
Literal and figurative language is a distinction in traditional systems for analyzing language. Literal language refers to words that do not deviate from their defined meaning.

As an estimate, probably about 80 per cent of words in Bulgarian also exist in Russian.

Bulgarian pronouncation is clear and sharp, but Russian is softly spoken.
