The main advantage of this monograph is that the researcher develops the original conception that internal motives in words and motivatedness of the linguistic sign are properties of the words and they fulfill specific functions in the linguistic consciousness. The study is based on a rich corpus of Bulgarian words, experimental results and results of previously studies. The author successfully attempts to investigate the problem in an unconventional manner by studying groups of lexical units which illustrate: developing linguistic consciousness and metalinguistic awareness (nonce words made by children) or the internal motive in words as a contributive factor to the development of lexical meaning of words (onomatopoeic words and two types of proper names).
Keywords: internal motive, motivational attribute, anthropocentric approach, free association test.
