Summary/Abstract: In the article, we propose the inclusion of methods used in linguistics and literary studies in the analysis of biographical narratives of representatives of the Polish community in Argentina collected by the KARTA Centre and the History Meeting House as part of the Oral History Archive. The use of methods developed on the basis of these disciplines in the study of oral accounts of the Polish community in Argentina may become an important step not only broadening the research perspective, but above all, bringing closer a fuller understanding of the Polish diaspora in the country on La Plata.
