Abstract. In the article analysis of a special concept ПОДДАННЫЙ was provided. The concept is considered as one of the basic parts of the Fundamental Laws of the Russian Empire that is a pretextual base of Russian constitutional intertext. This type of intertext is viewed as a constantly modified synthetic product, which includes legal and political discursive categories. The concept ПОДДАННЫЙ [SUBLECT] is a discursive predecessor of its modern quasisynonym ГРАЖДАНИН [CITIZEN].  The term «подданный» is a hyperonym reflecting political and law linguistic picture of the world during the historical period of the Russian Empire and characterized by lexico-semantic element «allegiance». A complicated structure of the lingvocognitive category correlating with the term given is studied by means of prototypical approach that makes possible to determine components and their position. Category ПОДДАННЫЙ includes several hyponyms with the same name reflecting the variety of a political and law status of a person. This variety allows to describe the correlating term as a polysemic one.

Key words: subject, intertext, constitutional intertext, significatum, significative feature, referent, prototypical approach.
