The study focuses on the word-formation means within the periphery of the
negative polarity in the Modern Bulgarian Language. The derivational morpheme
не-, which has the highest functional activity among the negating derivational
markers, is discussed in detail. The scientific analysis also focuses on the caritive
prefixes без- (used as a synonym of не-), the prefixes раз-, пре- and от-, involved
in the formation of verbs of the decursive-resultative and finitive modes of action
(Aktionsart), as well as the negative formants of foreign origin ин-, а-, им-, и-, де-,
and дис-. Important conclusions are drawn about the peculiarities of the usage of
the linguistic means under consideration.
