Summary/Abstract: The article presents the grammatical category voice of the verb within the framework of the normative grammar of the Bulgarian language. Two approaches to category research are contrasted: one is from content to form, and the other is from form to con-tent. Briefly, the approach from content to form, as advocated in Bulgarian linguistics, is presented. The formal approach to the description of the voice is illustrated by tracing the techniques of syntactic accommodation and connotation – two main linguistic me-chanisms that play a role in linking lexemes into grammatically correct constructions. The simple syntactic groups constituted by active and passive forms of two main types of verbs – transitive and intransitive – are studied.
