The subject of the article is the problem of describing the meaning of a word as a symbolic entity that is considered in the context of the requirements of modern lexicography. The analysis of the selected family words in terms of the cognitive, narrative and discursive aspects are intended to release the role of words as “node access” to the conceptual framework in accordance with the cognitive approach to semantics. The author also considers which model of the definition could best reflect the appropriate aspects of the word. The results of the contextual analysis included in the discursive frame enrich the cognitive dimension of the definition of the linguistic category. They reveal the existential experience of people, their perception and evaluation, that is, different domains interact in the conceptualization, which lies not so much in a single word, but in its discursive relationships with others

Autor uważa, że gatunkowe zróżnicowanie znaczenia słów w folklorze jest zjawiskiem wcale nie rzadkim. Pomimo różnorodności tekstów dadzą się zaobserwować ogólniejsze tendencje: (1) różnice jakościowe mają zakorzenienie w zróżnicowanej gatunkowo frekwencji i dystrybucji wyrazu; (2) w folklorze na gatunkową relatywizację znaczenia silniej oddziałują pragmatyczne wyznaczniki gatunku, jak: stabilizacja sytuacji wykonania tekstu, konwencjonalny wykonawca oraz konteksty pozawerbalne itd.; (3) poszczególne gatunki ujawniają również swoje wewnętrzne zróżnicowanie, co jest szczególnie charakterystyczne dla przysłów różnorodnych tematycznie; (4) znaczne różnice gatunkowe dotyczą aksjologizacji języka; (5) charakterystycznym zjawiskiem dla pieśni ludowych jest specjalna semantyczna poetyzacja i melizacja słownictwa.

The author believes that the genre-specific diversity of meanings of words in folklore is not an uncommon phenomenon. Despite the diversity of texts, more general tendencies can be observed: (1) qualitative differences are rooted in the genre-diversified frequency and distribution of a word; (2) in folklore, the genre relativization of the meaning is much more strongly influenced by pragmatic determinants of a genre, such as: the stability of the situation in the context of text production, a conventional performer/ speaker and non-verbal contexts, and so on; (3) individual genres also display their internal diversity, which is especially characteristic of thematically varied proverbs; (4) substantial differences in terms of the genre concern the axiologization of language; (5) specific semantic poetization and amelioration of vocabulary is a phenomenon characteristic of folk songs.

The text discusses the meanings the poet ascribes to the words given in the title. The word element appears 61 times in his works. In most contexts (50 cases) the author understands the word in the same way his contemporaries do, that is in the meaning of “a group of people that constitutes a separate circle” (22 cases), “component” (18 cases) and “natural element” (10 cases). What is interesting, 12 times he uses the word element in the meaning that is not found in dictionaries, one pointing to “immediate situations, realities, circumstances, determinants (most often living or material ones)”. However, he does not use the word in the meaning of “beginning, beginner teaching, prime principles” or in the meaning of “natural element as the only condition for life” (Słownik wileński – Vilnius Dictionary); he also does not use the special meanings of the word element. The adjective elementary appears in Norwid's works 44 times, most often in the meanings recorded in dictionaries: “basic, fundamental, simplest” (28 cases), “teaching the beginnings, initial” (6 cases), “natural, primary” (3 cases). There are also such uses of the word, in which the poet, referring to the meaning “natural, primary”, enriches it with aspects that are not included in dictionaries. We encounter such a situation in contexts containing individual connotations, conventionalized at least as far as the poet's idiolect is concerned. The word elementary is not used in Norwid's works in the function of a mathematical expression. Also, it is not used in the meaning “being the cause of a natural element”. The way the poet understood the words element and elementary proves a modern character of his poetical language.
