Summary/Abstract: The analysis focuses on the Polish scientific discourse of the George Lako ’s and Mark Johnson‘s theory. The author wonders whether two Polish terms “cognitive metaphor” and “conceptual meta- phor” can be guided by the same principles in the examined discourse. At the outset of the text, a quantitative survey took place, followed by qualitative ones: the first aimed to identify the key words and examine in which contexts they occur, the second attempted to verify whether both described terms are similarly conceptualized or not. It appears that additional review of the methods of pro ling the analyzed terms de nitely confirms the identified correlation. Namely: the way of naming one phenomenon depends on the text and the context (Polish and original) of the discourse, which the researchers refer to.
