Abstract

The aim of the paper is to show the patterns of formulas as typical phenomenon for the notarial texts from the early nineteenth century, as well as the repertoire of terms forming the text frame of agreements and their functions. It is not so much important to prove that the formulas are characteristic for official documents, what has repeatedly been indicated by researchers dealing with this issue, but to examine whether this feature depends on the intention of communication termed by specific legal convention, which determines the variety of species of protocols.
