This paper presents a diachronic study of authorial self-mention first person singular in linguistic journal articles from 1966 to 2015. The overall frequency of the first person singular in the corpus is influenced by the total number of texts in which the first person singular is used, as well as by the overall frequency of the first person singular in individual texts, which is high especially in subjective narrative texts. The results show that there is no statistically significant increase in the use of the first person singular. Formally, the most frequent means of the first person singular is the verb. Pragmatically, the most frequent rhetorical functions of the first person singular are textual signposting and expression of author’s viewpoint and argumentation.
