Zmiany w werbalizacji suwerena a kategoryzacja podmiotu władzy zwierzchniej w polskich konstytucjach XX wieku
Changes in the verbalization of the sovereign concept and categorization of supreme authority in the Polish constitutions of the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the changes in the verbalization of the sovereign concept in the Polish constitutions of 1921, 1952 and 1997. The study covered lexical units which correspond to the reference range of the sovereign concept, adopted in the article (e.g. obywatel, naród, ludność). The aim of the comparative study was to determine whether lexical differences and similarities in naming the supreme authority in the analyzed laws have an influence on the basic ontology and pragmatics of the object. The study showed that the method of naming the sovereign is a translingual semiotic process in which the legislature gives it not only a specific lexical form but primarily redefines its legal and factual state.
