| Resumo: | This article uses investigations into how words for baptism, especially the use of christen and christening as well as baptize and baptism, changed over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in order to highlight aspects of traditional English thought about baptism. It uses corpus-based methods of linguistic enquiry to investigate patterns of language in a variety of types of texts from this period to see how language use changed over this critical period of the Reformation. It applies these ideas, especially the importance of naming and group identity, to debates about baptism in the Church of England today. |
