Summary/Abstract: Our aim is to show the intra-linguistic semantic transformations of common Balkan words of Slavic origin. The analysis of the semantic adaptation of Slavisms in Balkan literary languages raises the question of re-evaluation of the place of the lexicon in the Balkan Sprachbund supersystem. The vocabulary of each Balkan language represents a combination of genetically inherited lexemes with numerous foreign language elements. But the multiplicity of loanwords in the Balkan languages is striking with their uniformity, established during long ethno-cultural and linguistic contacts.
