Landslagsspråk och stadslagsspråk : stilhistoriska undersökningar i Kristoffers landslag

Research output: Thesis › Doctoral Thesis (monograph)

Abstract

The thesis accounts for a comparison between the two different parts of The National Law of King Christopher (1442): the parts taken over from the older national law and the parts rewritten och new written. I also compare with those parts of The Urban Law of King Magnus Eriksson that are independent of the national law. The investigations concern legal case clauses, legal enactment modes, syntactic complexity, word order, vocabulary and alliteration and show that the new parts in most respects rather correspond stylistically with the urban law than with the older national law. Often these correspondencies have a more explicitly generalized style in common, but also foreign influence plays a major part.
