Folklore texts operate on two levels: inside the folk culture in combination with traditional beliefs and customs, and within the national culture as a point of reference and source of inspiration for writers and poets. Individual words also function on those two levels, as they can be understood ‘the literary way’ or ‘the folk way’. The paper presents two units of the vocabulary of the national language (jabłoń ‘apple tree’ and jabłko ‘apple’) which have fixed base meanings but which also accommodate additional senses on a higher semantic level and thus become the signifiant for a new sign. In folklore texts, depending on the genre, the images of apple tree and apple accept the symbolic senses of happy and fulfilled love (in love and courting songs), fertility and vitality (in wedding songs), of readiness for marriage and the stable, cosmic order (in wishing carols), of temptation and sin (in nativity plays), richness and ability to regenerate and renew life (in fairy tales), of the sense of security and parental care (in orphan songs), of the value of family home and proximity to the loved ones (in soldiers’ songs). These symbols can be explained using extralinguistic data (beliefs and customs) as the same senses can be expressed through words, rituals, or objects. The analysis reveals that the images of apple tree and apple serve to communicate values underlying the image of the world contained within the specific genre. The same images, transplanted to a different domain, outside of their particular social group, lose their value, become illegible, incomprehensible, and are viewed as merely a signal of folksiness.

The notion of symbol, though popular and commonly used, has not so far received a satisfactory operational definition, i.e. a methodology of description that would allow to assign specific symbolic meanings to images in a foreseeable, “controllable” way. This is revealed by the different symbolic meanings which dictionaries assign to the same images. The paper uses examples from the Lublin Słownik stereotypów i symboli ludowych ‘Dictionary of stereotypes and folk symbols’ to question the rules for determining symbolic meanings and the “linguistic and cultural proofs” connected with the assignment of those senses – the rules that link the sun with life, truth and perfection, fire with love and passion, light with the God and heaven, dew with life-giving force and male sperm, wind with life-giving spirit, rainbow with the sign of peace, &c. The article reveals that the symbolic sense is sometimes prompted by the etymology, metaphorical meanings, parallel constructions, equivalence, or may also result from the genre convention of the text (an erotic, a dream book, a wishing carol), or finally from the beliefs and practices of bearers of folk culture. Regardless of all those attempts at determining symbolic meanings, the formulation of such meanings remains a hypothesis of a kind. Texts, especially artistic ones (where also folk texts belong), contain an unclosed semantic potential and remain unsaid, open and susceptible to new symbolic readings.

This study, which is freely inspired by the results of thematological and cognitive linguistic research, observes the way the potential for relations between man and the external world of objects is realized in lyric poetry. Object motifs acquire a dimension of mood or value, which grows from practical experience with things and which then adheres to their designations in the form of secondary symbolic meanings. However, this does not just apply to individual objects, but to the entire in-depth time-space structure implied in language. For example, an opposition appears between horizontal and vertical, light and darkness and the like. Moreover, each of the members of these oppositions as a rule also indicates an internal value-ambivalence: e.g. “bright night” and “dark night” have different symbolism, “height” and “distance” are symbols of desire, but also of possible dangers and so forth. On this basis there arise stable but always poetically re-accentuated image parallels between the object world and human existence, as represented e.g. by the topos of the “journey” or the seasonal and diurnal cycle.

Studie volně inspirovaná výsledky tematologických a kognitivnělingvistických bádání sleduje, jak se v lyrických básnických textech aktualizuje potenciál vztahů mezi člověkem a vnějším, předmětným světem. Předmětné motivy nabývají v lyrice náladového, hodnotového zabarvení, které vyrůstá z praktické zkušenosti s věcmi a které poté v podobě sekundárních symbolických významů ulpívá na jejich pojmenováních. To se ale týká nejen jednotlivých předmětů, nýbrž také celkové a hlubinné, v jazyce implikované strukturace časoprostoru. Objevuje se například opozice horizontálního a vertikálního směřování, opozice světla a tmy apod. Navíc se každý z členů těchto opozic zpravidla ještě vyznačuje vnitřní hodnotovou ambivalencí: například „jasná noc“ a „temná noc“ mají odlišné symbolické vyznění, „výška“ a „dálka“ jsou symbolem touhy, ale také symbolem možných nebezpečí, atd. Na tomto základě pak vznikají ustálené, vždy však básnicky nově aktualizované obrazné paralely mezi předmětným světem a lidskou existencí, jaké představuje např. topos „cesty“ nebo cyklus denních a ročních období.
