Abstract
In the article, the subject of description included continuous and discontinuous auto‑semantic lexical units used in the medieval language (until the end of the 15th century) which are a lexical representation of the concept of SILENCE in the Słownik pojęciowy języka staropolskiego [Conceptual Dictionary of Old Polish online] based on Słownik staropolski [Old Polish Dictionary]. The result of semantic works on the vocabulary gathered within the concept of SILENCE is the categorization on this lexis within semantic field and descrption of its components. The semantic field created on the basis of the analyzed lexical units consists of five complementary zones: no speech; lack of speech and related sounds; permanent or temporary loss of the ability to speak or express oneself; inexpressibility; tabooing.
