Summary/Abstract: Confrontational research of prefixal morphemes of two languages not only explores the extent to which prefixation is being employed as a frequent mode of word production in both of the languages but also it reveals the often different semantic capacity of the formally matching meaning-giving prefixes. The author examines the features of the Bulgarian prefixal morpheme в- (в-) as a word-forming element of prefixed verbs derivation and points to the similarities and differences of its Slovak counterpart, and by doing so she solves, to a certain extent, the equivalence relations among them on a level of lexicographical interpretation. On the basis of common constitutional meaning, the author divides prefixal verbs with the prefix в- (в-) into several groups. She notes that the Bulgarian prefix has a wider semantic range than its Slovak counterpart, simultaneously she reveals the different derivative ability of root words that are associated with it. At the same time the author suggests possible solutions of the above mentioned assymetry on a lexicographical level.
