“Zaszczytnie odznaczeni na polu naukowem”. The Image of Polish Scholars and Researchers in Wędrowiec (1863–1906)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the linguistic image of Polish scholars and researchers whose profiles, biographies and obituaries were published in the Warsaw weekly newspaper Wędrowiec ( Traveller ) in the second half of the nineteenth century. Analysing the collected texts, the author distinguished a set of seven aspects which were taken into account by the journalists of Wędrowiec to present the profiles of the scholars. Those aspects are the following: the subject of research, scientific achievements, journalistic and publishing activities, didactic and educational activities, science-promoting activities, organisational activities, awards and distinctions. They were determined by the points of view adopted by the authors of the texts. There are three dominant points of view: the one of an expert, a Pole and a positivist. These points of view coexist and complement each other. The expert and specialist informed the reader in detail about the scientific career and achievements of the scholars. The Polish publicist expressed his joy at the international success of his countrymen. He observed their research and scientific achievements with attention; especially those that influenced the development of fields important for the country.
