Summary/Abstract: Cognitive linguistics is becoming more and more important in the interdisciplinary research discourse concerned with the main research object, i.e. the matter of language and itsuse on a variety of levels. The aim of this article is to point to problem areas of the aforementione dissues, taking into consideration the theoretical linguistic and sociolinguistic premises in the context of the linguistic research development. Numerous conceptual exemplifications, used in explaining selected issues, reveal a complex character of the issue at hand, and, at the same time, point to the interrelation with a broadly understood humanistic thinking. The author refers to the selected assumptions of the modern humanistic research, showing the necessity to connect the new findings of cognitive linguistics with the object of the research, i.e. the participant of the communication process. Moreover, the author presents methodological cognitive dillemas resulting from the development of the cognitive terminology, discussing the issue of the relationship between cognitivism and other branches of science. The author highlights the interdisciplinary character of the links between some aspects of research branchesand the ones that are used in professional contexts. The methodological premise, consisting of the analysis of writing and operating the linguistic terminology, is the selection of appropriate terminology including modern references to the functioning of cognitivism in communication. As shown above, the research results are presented as conclusions from the analysis of sources that refer to issues requiring high lighting.
