The analysis is based on fragments of oral biographical narratives collected during fieldwork in selected villages in Lower Silesia region, in the vicinity of Legnica . In the article, two roles of objects present in narratives are recognized: where the object is a part of the narrative (something expressed in words and reduced to lan- guage) and when it appears to be a factor that goes beyond the narrative – the reason for retelling memory . Such narrative objects reveal their two–fold nature: they are experi- enced as well as constructed . Hence, they are beyond the dualistic division between what is given (data) and what is formed . Grounded in non–linguistic experience, they are are simultaneously its linguistic expression . Although they are part of language, they do not fall within the logocentric frame .</p></div></div></div> ER -
