Summary/Abstract: In this article an original model of the semantic potential of negative superlatives is presented using as empirical material data from the Bulgarian language. During the discussion it becomes clear that the superlative value of the corresponding word can be ascertained already at the level of its semantic components as a combination of cognitive and emotive- attitudinal aspect of their senses. Under certain circumstances the negative superlatives can form semantic groups. In the present article two such groups consisting of Turkish loan words in Bulgarian are presented and analyzed – of female dysphemisms and of unique male characters.
