Summary/Abstract: The author draws up her attention to a certain, so far unnoticed, methodologicalproblem connected with the presence of regionalisms in literary works written in thecommon Polish language. Regionalisms most frequently appear in literary works due towriter-intended stylizations. They can also be used in belles-lettres if a writer uses hisown regional variety7 of the national language.This article presents another way for introduction of linguistic regionalisms into li-terary works - pursuant to the "cognitive-emotional fascination of the region". Accordingto the author, this notion is not a scientific category, but solely a proper way to describespecific situations in the literature. She bases her considerations on the cognitive-emo-tional fascination of Eliza Orzeszkowa (1841-1910) by the Polish language of the noblebackwoods of the Grodno region in her novels On the Niemen and Bene nati and of JôzefLobodowski (1909-1988) by the regional Polish language of the Polish-Ukrainian borderregion in his Ukrainian Poems.
