Summary/Abstract: Current normative problems related to the use of the reflexive possessive pronouns svoy, si in the oral form of the Bulgarian literary language are considered. Attention is drawn to non-trivial cases of the use of reflexive possessives instead of possessive pro-nouns. Attention is paid to the competition between the two types of pronouns in certain types of syntactic constructions and the reasons for errors and hesitations are analyzed. Cases that present more complex semantic relations, encoded in the sentence as a linguistic unit, at the level of which the rule for the use of the reflexive possessive pronoun is manifested: sentences with an extended noun phrase, with nominalization by means of a verbal noun, impersonal sentences are examined and typologized.
