Streszczenie:
The article attempts to lay out the research area of three major concepts: history, memory, and language. Because each of them is polysemous and can relate to different ontological domains in different situations (extralinguistic reality, textual or narrative reality), an attempt is made to add precision to the semantics of the words that express these concepts. There are complex relationships between the meanings of each of the words (i.e., between history1 and history2, or memory1 and memory2) and in the “horizontal” aspect between history1 and memory1 or history2 and memory2. Each of these arrangements has a unique linguistic characterization but there are also five features that function as the common denominator between the three constructs of history2 (i.e., historiography), memory2 (accounts of the content of memory), and the linguacultural worldview: subjectivity, narration, selectivity, interpretation, and “languaging”. That common denominator makes it possible to juxtapose and compare the diverse pictures of the same section of reality.
