Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt of presenting some linguistic games introduced by Dembołęcki in his most known book from 1633. It has been widely criticized for centuries but as it seems – wrongly or perhaps even rightly, nevertheless because of improper reasons. There are a lot of various indications suggesting that Dembołęcki was a hypocrite who praised Polish nation in showy manner and only outwardly for – in fact – he denounced obvious defects of the noblemen society.
