Summary/Abstract: The author relates to the words of Wojciech Chlebda and Anna Horolets concerning Europe (at a meeting of the Ethnolinguistic Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences, December 4, 2009, published in the present volume in a slightly modified form) and continues to advocate his methodological postulate that the reconstruction of the linguistic worldview (JOS) within the EUROJOS research programme focus on what is common, entrenched in the colloquial (standard) variety of a given language, rather than limiting oneself to just one category of data (collocations, proverbs) or a single type of discourse (e.g. political). On the methodological platform, the postulate amounts to making use of various sources of data and techniques of their analysis. A reconstruction of the linguistic worldview should be based on a “balanced” foundation, embracing systemic-linguistic data, textual data (corpora) and questionnaires. The author shows that in the case of EUROPE, the last, experimental method (open-ended questionnaires) enables one to enrich and verify poor lexicographic data as well as diversified textual data.
