Bulgarian prefix-morphem въз- as a word forming prefix that modifies meanings of the principal words, with which it joins into derivatives, does not belong to the productive prefixes of Bulgarian language, however, it has broader semantic classification. Mainly it deserves attention due to the complexity of its semantic identification, which can be observed in its adjectival derivatives, which Bulgarian theory evaluates on contrary terms and which are object of study. The adjectives at the focus of the study express a certain attribute, certain quality, which demonstrates itself in a modified form. On the content level, apart from the attribute unit of meaning, there is also an intensity unit of meaning for this attribute, which is formally expressed through въз- in Bulgarian language. The author comes to the conclusion that on the basis of contextual analysis the adjectives at focus may be evaluated in two ways. This justifies lexicographic assignation of two meanings. Further, the author draws attention to the Bulgarian verbal derivatives with a prefix въз-, which has its parallel in archaic preposition въз. On the basis of mutual constitutional units of meaning, she divides them in a number of groups. She points to certain matching functions of the въз- prefix in Bulgarian and vz-/vzo- in Slovak language by verbs expressing a rising action, an action coming on the surface, sudden beginning of an action with an intensive flow and so on. Bulgarian prefix, however, has a greater semantic scope and serves as a formal indicator of further ways of action that are presented in Slovak language through other tools of expression.
