Słownictwo nazywające katolików i niekatolików w XVIII-wiecznych kazaniach ks. Krzysztofa Kluka

Abstract

The article presents the analysis of lexical calling Catholics and non- Catholics in the eighteenth-century sermons by priest Christopher Kluk – priest/scientist, parson of the parish in Ciechanowiec, KEN coworker. The vocabulary of the homilies is divided into four linguistic fields: members of my religious community, Christian-non-Catholics, non-Christians, atheists. This studies has shown a clear domination of the Roman Catholic beliefs and tendencies of everyday understanding of the religion, where there is an equal sign between the Catholic and Christian. It was also found that the linguistic field hChristian-non-Catholicsi in Kluk’s homilies is much smaller than the same linguistic fields in the seventeenth-century preachers homilies. It may shows that in the eighteenth century, the echoes of the Reformation has not proved such a great emotion, even among ordinary priests.
