Summary/Abstract: The article examines the antonyms in the field of the concept TOLERANCE. Survey data are analyzed seeking an answer to the question of how the Bulgarians perceive tolerance, whether they accept it as a value. Groups of antonyms united by a common semantic feature are derived, as well as the leading oppositional pairs that build the attitudes of the modern Bulgarians. Nationally specific stereotypical signs of this value-marked concept are revealed.
