Abstract
The aim of this research is to synchronously analyze and compare the negative prefixes in the Spanish and Bulgarian languages and the prefixed structures to which they form. Negative prefixes are studied in four semantic groups: opposition, contradiction, contrariety and privation, paying attention also to the various additional nuances that each prefix usually brings. The analysis of the studied prefixes provides the possibility of establishing similarities and differences between the two languages compared, which, in turn, pretends to facilitate and optimize the teaching-learning process.
Key words: prefix, negative, negation, opposition, contradiction, contrariety, privation
