Abstract

In public worships of the middle ages the communicative structures come into closer consideration when a ritual act is of relevance to the theology of the sacraments or to juridical implications. In these cases the spoken language seems to be of eminent importance, because the ritual initializes, strengthens or blesses (or cancels) a canonical status. Both a sacral language and a metaphorical text can create misunderstandings or errors. So interests and intentions have to be investigated in an examination or in the form of a dialogue, when 'Amen' as a simply answer is not sufficient. The dialogue during the ritual of baptism here is used as an example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
