Type: article
Abstract: The author reconsiders the role of the Latin language in Central Europe during the Latin Middle Ages. Oversimplified views about the exclusively oral character of the vernaculars vs. exclusively non-oral written Latin, and the inadequate metaphorical taxonomy "living language" vs. "dead language", are discussed. Their inappropriateness for application to the Age of Renaissance, Humanism and Reformation calls for further detailed research and reinterpretation of known facts. An attempt is made to account for extensive and frequent code-switching in terms of several internal and external drives of psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic nature. A comparison of linguistically mixed texts by scholarly educated Martin Luther and Jan Blahoslav with some non-scholarly texts by Primož Trubar reveals different patterns and stages of cultural diglossia.
