Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the linguistic creation of the father in the novel in the so-called peasant manner – A Naked orchard, by Wiesław Myśliwski. An analysis has been made of: the presentation of the father in the novel, the presentation of his appearance, mentality, characteristic behaviors and the ways of describing his interaction with other characters (with particular emphasis on the father-son relationship). Also discussed are the roles of colloquial stylization and dialectal stylization in the father’s language. By analyzing linguistic and stylistic means, the basic mechanisms governing the creation of the father figure in the piece in question have been described; for example the dominant role of contrast imaging.
