The features embedded in the structure of the concept are revealed through the analysis of systematic linguistic data, including lexicographic definitions, as well as collocations with varying degrees of stability. In addition, materials from paremiology are employed as a source of ethnospecific and culturally significant information. The aim is to describe and reconstruct the stereotypical features of the concept that are firmly established in the collective linguistic consciousness of Bulgarians and widely operative in usage. In general terms, REBELLION is interpreted as an axiologically ambivalent concept which, in a number of contexts, is understood as a means of defending and affirming fundamental values such as freedom, justice, and human dignity.otherOther
