The purpose of this article is to present the language picture of the woman on the basis of the lyrics of songs classified as a genre known as chalga. The image reconstructed in this manner seems to be particularly interesting from the perspective of the figurative meaning of the lexeme chalga in the Bulgarian language. It then appears as a type of exemplar of anticulture, in which the representation of women’s beauty and the model of male-female relations are displayed in an extremely evocative and archetypal way.
