Summary/Abstract: The paper dwells on the semantic category ‘size-dimension’. It focuses on the specifics of the absolute and relatively linguistic size and in particular, the linguistic interpretation of the size in the light of normative evaluation. The linguistic structures interpret the size of the objects from four different kinds of norms: the norm of kind (the average standard in the representation of the size feature), the situational norm, the norm of proportionality and the norm of expectation. Each one of these kinds has its own linguistic representation. The object of description and analysis in the present paper are the exhibit structures reflecting the size with respect to the situational norm, the norm of proportionality and the norm of expectation in Russian and Bulgarian languages.
