Étude sur le mot tempus chez Luther et chez Érasme: Ipsissima verba: Essays in honour of Johann Ramminger eds. Giancarlo Abbamonte, Minna Skafte Jensen & Marianne Pade

Earlier (Schøsler & Skovgaard-Hansen 2022) we have investigated texts written by Luther and Calvin with the intent of testing the hypothesis that lan-guage, society and conceptualisation are interconnected in such a way that societal and conceptual changes are reflected in the language. This article is meant to compare the use of the word tempus in texts by Luther and Erasmus. We ask ourselves the following questions: Do we find significant differences? and if so: are they just due to differences in the context of communication or of text type, or rather to differences in ideological approach?
