The article presents the linguistic capacities in defining geographical names of the moderately intellectually disabled male. The principal objective was to reconstruct, based on the subject’s utterances, the concepts like desert (pustynia), ocean (ocean), mountains (góry), country/village (wieś) and town (miasto), which assumed the form of cognitive definitions. In view of the fact that the subject used commonsense knowledge and utilized colloquial language, we tried to show that the resultant explications of meanings are the outcome of “good” and “expanded” categorization constructed on the basis of “linguicized experiences”.
