Knowledge is organized in the human mind in the form of schemas, scripts, frames and concepts. Logopedics, like other disciplines, perceives the need to describe cognitive schemas/scripts in logopedic diagnosis. The shape of cognitive structures (in the form of schemas, scripts as well as concepts) contained in the mind of a child and an adult represents a person’s store of knowledge, its organization, the way of representing the world, and the abundance of experiences related to the analyzed fragment of reality. According to M. Kielar-Turska, the narrative schema contained in a person’s mind helps and facilitates understanding and remembering of text by that person, and also assists in reproducing it.

Due to the wide variety of research methods on autism, the author sees the need for in- depth methodological reflection before planning own research on semantic and lexical competences in children with autism. For this purpose, using the method of the traditional literautre review she aims to discuss some theoretical problems and formulate conclusions for her own research. Con-cludes that studying linguistic competence in autism requires intensive conceptual work, including in-depth methodological reflection; practical skills within research methods and epistemological awareness. In the final part, she outlines a plan to investigating verb comprehension in autistic children.

This article is an attempt to describe the changes in communication and pragmalinguis-tics in the 21 ^st century that stem from the end of language and print culture, and from the visual- technological revolution. The result of these changes is an importance weight shift in linguistics statements, from intent to outcome, and making linguistic communication into recipient communica-tion for which the sender is still responsible. The need to introduce this change especially concerns communicational public space where people of very different linguistic and general communicational competencies come together. This article contains a description of the conditions where communica-tion between people in this space is successful. By means of topographic metaphor, it is shown what effective communication is about in the communication wetlands and swamps, lowlands and plains, plateaus and highlands, and communication peaks and glaciers as well as between the inhabitants of these different lands.
