Summary/Abstract: The author observes a significant increase in the interest in the category of subject in Polish stylistics of the last twenty years. She is concerned with the subject as the research object (subject in a text, discourse, genre) and as the research subject, which is the author of a scientific text in the stylistic field. She notices the changes have taken place in both of the above cases. In the former, the category of the subject has been redefined (from the grammatical to the personalized conceptualization of this category). In the latter, the transformations covered the objectives and problems of the research process (from analysis to interpretation). Apprehension of the subject as a person revitalized the research on individual styles, and simultaneously significantly broadened the scope of manifestation of what has a specific character in social interactions. Subject-centrism caused that, among other things, the stylistics became the open discipline, establishing a dialogue with other branches of humanities, and at the same time the subject has become an element that integrates various methodologies.
