Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is a description of self-presentation strategies used by Andrzej Bańkowski in his Etymologiczny słownik języka polskiego. Analysis showed that narrative self is omnipresent, although the author does not reveal himself directly (lack of personal forms of verbs in 1st person singular). On the contrary, the author hides his presence by using forms such as he and inclusive we, or impersonal forms of passive voice and construction of 3rd person singular and reciprocal pronoun self. Analysed scientific idiolect of the etymologist is characterised with emotional investment, revealed without formal presentation of the author as the experiencer of certain internal states, which is achieved by using evaluative vocabulary, colloquialisms, phraseological phrases, labels, biblical borrowings, and rhetorical figures.
