The union concluded at the Sejm meeting held in Lublin in 1569 establishedcommon institutions of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania,thus creating the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which survived until 1795.Apart from the ruler elected jointly by the nobility of both countries, it establishedthe common Sejm, foreign and defence policies, and the common coin. Thearmy, treasury, legal systems, administration, and judiciary remained separate.From the philological point of view, the following markers are substantial forcharacterising the Union of Lublin act: the Polish language of the text and itsstylistic affi nity, diversity of the forms of the names of the document signatories,text composition and its offi cial and rhetoric style markers determining itsinformative and persuasive functions.
