Summary/Abstract: Georgi Gerdzhikov was a distinguished Bulgarian linguist and a long-time Morphology of the Modern Bulgarian Language teacher in SU "St. Kl. Ohridski". His scientific interests were extremely versatile. His achievements are considered to be an important contribution not only to the Bulgarian linguistics, but also to the worldwide one. They represent his work in the sphere of gramatical oppositions, which begins with Trubetskoi and Jacobson and gains popularity with the achievements of the representatives of the School of Natural Morphology. Georgi Gerdzhikov dedicated a significant part of his time to the research of the problems connected with the definiton of systematically conditional relations between the two members of the grammatical opposition, where it is logical to trace the causes for all the differences in their manifestations, but which in the classical theory of linguistic oppositions isn't deprived of some weaknesses and controversies. With his clarifications and corrections, the theory of gramatical oppositions - a very controversal linguistic thesis that leads to controversal results - becomes a precise scientific theory, it starts working with gramatical precision and is completely proved with the analysis of the whole Bulgarian morphological system. Regarding all the publications by Georgi Gerdzhikov, this article has reconstructed for the first time ever in its totality his point of view about the development of the Bulgarian language towards analytism.
