Summary/Abstract: The postpreposition ellipse in Bulgarian language is related to the nature of language – to grow on the princip of economy. In most cases, it finds its explanation only when itestablishes a contextual semantic relation (previous or following) with other structures in which the elements of the eliding ”recovered”. The postpreposition ellipse most paradoxically occurred even in the most impossible and at least expected syntactic position. At first view this seems to be very useless role of prepositions – to combine mostly with the names of groups. On the basis of elizyappeared many iterations in the language expression, which could be considered as a consequence of the tendency to maintain equilibrium in the language.
