Die Verfassungsterminologie der frühmittelalterlichen Slawenherrschaften.
Constitutional Terminology of Slavic rule in Early Medieval Times

Summary/Abstract: By establishing characteristic contexts of the early medieval constitutional terms designating concepts of rule and sovereignty a reconstruction of the original terminologal system and phraseology is attempted. Thus the reconstruction of characteristic contexts supports the reconstruction of Proto-Slavic constitutional vocabulary and vice versa. Forthis purpose not only Slavic but also biblical and Latin sources are used. The result is a substantial fragment of the system of Proto-Slavic constitutional vocabulary and a fair specimen of formulaic phraseology pertaining to the same field.
