The paper discusses a diagrammatic type defined as a quantitative iconicity principle and one of the aspects of imaging within the theory of cognitive grammar developed by Ronald W. Langacker. On the example of a fairy tale by A. N. Tolstoy, it distinguishes manners of categorization of the world, which follow a specific semiotic principle in Russian. The findings of the analysis enable treating the principle as an example of a radial category. Further, the article includes the results of comparison between Russian structures and their translation into Polish, with the quantitative iconicity applied as tertium comparationis. В настоящей статье рассматривается тип диаграмматичности, определяемый как принцип количественной иконичности и один из аспектов образности в теории Рональда В. Лангакера. На примере сказки А. Н. Толстого выделяются способы категоризации мира, которые в русском языке реализуют данный семиотический принцип. Результаты анализа позволяют воспринимать количественную иконичность как пример радиальной категории. В статье проводится также сравнение конструкций русского языка с их польским переводом, tertium comparationis составляет количественная иконичность.

The article, basing on comparative research attempts to examine various definitions and classifications of bilingualism in different scientific realms. The analysis has shown that there is an enormous number of descriptions involving bilingualism, however no classification presented that would entirely combine all aspects of such a broad notion as bilingualism. Therefore, the article attempts to present such kind of classification, illustrating bilingualism in form of radial category
