This work deals with the worldview of autochtonous polish speaking ethnic group in Teschen Silesia inhabiting the area of both sides of current Czech-Polish border. It is importantfor our research that this ethnoculture maintains specific traditional traits, whether on the level of full meanings or of their symbolic sedimentation, which itself may serve as a source for reconstuction of these full meanings via structural-ermeneutical method. The analysis of narrative materials allows us to revealsome representative features of the researched worldview. By the notion of worldview we mean specific world description and world model (or pattern) as well. In our attempt to reconstruct a part of the worldview we aspire to show full potential of cognitive-linguistic analysis, taking note of both phenomenological and structural approaches. We understand the worldview notion as correlative to language and culture, and, on the other hand, as universal relative to man as bodily subject. We consider any worldview correlative to language and culture, alongside with being correlative to sensual human subject as well. This bilateral correlation is the source ofparadoxical nature of a worldview. Our research reveals that a worldview as a product of categorizing animal man makes reality simpler and stable on the one hand, but on the other hand can notget rid of it's own inconsistence and ambivalence. We attempt to prove that a worldview consists of a system for which general interpretation matrix can be found, but that this very system is equally confused, ambivalent, heterogeneous and includes multiple different layers. We also attempt to prove that cognitive structures specific for a member of the researched ethnoculture may occur outside this ethnoculture and that conlusions resulting from our analysis may have more general validity.
