Abstract
The language game which is widely used in modern Bulgarian speech practice, in fiction and media texts, and in advertisements has its beginning in the period of Renaissance. The potential for using the language game develops to-gether with the maturing of modern personality and with the expansion of his/her knowledge in the sphere of culture, history and science. In the literary heritage of N. Bozveli, from the forties of XIX century, are present almost all the indicators of language game, stated in science. The subject of the study is gain-ing experience, connected to paremias and phraseological expressions, as well as with precedent texts in two editions of Bozveli’s works.

Key words: Neofit Bozveli, language game, Bulgarian language
