Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the most frequent semantic formulas (SF) for expressing the logical personal periphrases that are used in the Macedonian language in the language of the electronic newspapers. The research is a qualitative one and has a descriptive design. The corpus consists of 7000 logical personal periphrases, excerpted from the language of the electronic newspapers in 2019. Analysis and synthesis are the methods used to process the data and reach conclusions. The research results show that in the Macedonian language plenty of semantic formulas for expressing the logical personal periphrases are distinguished and that the inheret feature of the denotat refers mainly to two aspects, such as the function and profession he has in the society. The results indicate that the most used semantic formulas are SF 5 and SF 7 which refer to the combination of the denotat’s proffesion and the author’s evaluation: adjective in superlative +/- (adjective + adjective) + noun that refers to profession and one of + adjective in superlative +/- (adjective) + noun that refers to proffesion.
