Summary/Abstract: This article dwells on the linguistic representation of money in Bulgarian proverbs and sayings (paroemias). The essence and functions of money as a universal equivalent of goods, the subject of market exchange, are examined. The aim of this article is, after the analysis of the presented Bulgarian paroemias, to show the practical and psychological dimensions of their use, application and impact. Various methods have been used: description, summary and classification of the examined material, as well as conceptual and linguocultural analysis. The following conclusions are drawn from the functions considered: the need to expand the scope and nature of research in this scientific field; a more in-depth study of the role of money as part of everyday life, determining the mentality and stereotypes characterising the behavior of Bulgarians.
