Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the semantic stratum of Turkish words and their density level in language material from the end of the 19th century. Their functional characterization is examined in view of the semantic spheres where they are active. A language corpus of Turkish loan words distributed in 16 thematic groups is adduced and P. Hitov’s patterns of defining and substitution of such words with their Bulgarian equivalents are examined. Conclusions are drawn regarding their distribution and stylistic marking versus their state, in Modern Bulgarian.
