Summary/Abstract: This article indicates key problems related to the interpretation of selected enunciations in Vade- mecum,and develops a new formula for describing Norwid’s syntactic strategies. The assumption that the subject of analysis is not comprised by abstract syntactic structures but empirical, used and actualized enunciations entails the necessity to acknowledge their multi-layered character and the import of other levels than that of syntax, especially thematic-rhematic structure and metatext. As presented analyses show, taking these aspects into account helps to successfully settle certain interpretative dilemmas. The proposed expansion of perspective also allows one to grasp certain features that contribute to the specificity of Norwid’s syntax, which mobilizes and utilizes various levels of enunciation.
