| Popis | The article discusses the terms used in medieval text sources to denote the Hussites. It pays particular attention to the nominal phrase Bohemi heretici arguing that its lexeme constituents functioned in fifteenth-century 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 referring to Bohemia and the Bohemian people in the context of the Hussite heresy. The study is based on letters 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. |
