Summary/Abstract: The semantic balkanisms of Turkish origin in the Bulgarian and in the Albanian languages are analyzed, which are formed not only on the grounds of their common (or close) phonetic pattern but also on the grounds of the coincidence (the closer or farther) of their semantic structures. A series of common lexical balkanisms created on the basis of the borrowed Turkish words have kept almost all meanings of the latter, others have kept only few of them, and third have on local ground developed completely new meanings. In the form of schemes, illustrated by examples, the 13 structural-semantic models are presented, which are based on the different combination of common features and differences in the meanings of the words from the three languages.
