Abstract

The subject of our study is the linguistic phenomenon of enantiosemy. We give some more information about its origin, describe examples and types of enantiosemy in Bulgarian and English language and try to establish another approach of grouping them. We have found out a lot of typological similarities in both languages.

Key words: enantiosemy, autoantonymy, selfcontronymy, enantiodormia
