Summary/Abstract: The study compares cognitive lexemes in German and Bulgarian, united in lexical-semantic fields based on integral semantic features. The lexical field is a paradigmatic structure composed of lexemes, the meaning of which forms a common significative core, and which are opposed in view of minimal differential features of meaning. The aim of the study is to compare elements of lexical systems in distantly related languages through the method of contrastive analysis, as these elements belong to different parts of speech, have different morphological and syntactic characteristics, but are united by a common semantic feature: intuitiveness. The paper focuses on lexical semantics and in particular on the discovery of lexical-semantic paradigm, which also presents synonymous relations as systemic relations in vocabulary. Expressing co-referentiality, synonyms in the work are characterized by common cognitive but different pragmatic meanings.
