Abstract
This article discusses the terms used in medieval text sources to denote the Hussites. It pays particular atten-tion to the nominal phrase Bohemi heretici arguing that its lexeme constituents functioned in fifteenth-cen-tury Latin as synonyms. A more detailed examination focuses on types of synonymy established between two mentioned lexemes. The terms contextual synonymy and partial synonymy are used here. In addition, the importance of connotative meaning is pointed out as a criterion for analysing the usage of lexemes refer-ring to Bohemia and the Bohemian people in the context of the Hussite heresy. The study is based on let-ters written by Polish secular and ecclesiastical chanceries as well as those written to Polish sovereigns and dignitaries by their foreign correspondents. In addition, the “Annals”of Jan Długosz are taken into account.
期刊介绍:
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica is an international quarterly journal publishing papers of general interest from all areas of paleontology. Since its founding by Roman Kozłowski in 1956, various currents of modern paleontology have been represented in the contents of the journal, especially those rooted in biologically oriented paleontology, an area he helped establish.
In-depth studies of all kinds of fossils, of the mode of life of ancient organisms and structure of their skeletons are welcome, as those offering stratigraphically ordered evidence of evolution. Work on vertebrates and applications of fossil evidence to developmental studies, both ontogeny and astogeny of clonal organisms, have a long tradition in our journal. Evolution of the biosphere and its ecosystems, as inferred from geochemical evidence, has also been the focus of studies published in the journal.
