Summary/Abstract: The research paper focuses on the question of the typology of functional semantic fields in the contemporary Bulgarian language. In the analysis comments have been made on A. V. Bondarko and I. Kutsarov’s popular classification models of FSF in the Russian and Bulgarian languages, emphasizing on some problematic parts in the points of view of the two authors.The new classification of FSF presented in the exposition is based on several main criteria: 1) a sphere of functioning; 2) presence/ absence of a structural centre (nucleus); 3) structure of the field periphery; 4) a degree of the functional autonomy; 5) semantic scope. There are arguments in favour of the belief that FSF build microfields not only around the marked members of the nucleus – the morphological category, but also around the unmarked members (having both general and main meaning).
