Summary/Abstract: This study presents the linguistic and semantic realizations of the concept “living places” in the New Bulgarian damascenes from the 17th century. A system of words and collocations and their use in different contexts are analyzed in view of their connection with Christian culture and with the medieval picture of the world. The process of enrichment of the names for living places in the history of the Bulgarian language and of the changes in the conceptual content of the words and collocations is followed.
