Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts to outline the problems with the coining of terms is a linguistic subdiscipline, which – though designed by Ferdinand de Saussure – has not been sufficiently developed so far. It is an area that still lacks a fully adequate and widely recognized name, and has been referred to by Jadwiga Wajszczuk as a “«current» organization of an utterance”. It can be considered a subdiscipline of the linguistics of speech, focused on hierarchically organized layers of an utterance seen as a unit of parole. Reviewing some of the terms proposed so far and indicating concepts that should be distinguished and properly named serve as a starting point for methodological reflection on the building of terminology related to the newly developed discipline.
