Employing historical discourse analysis, this study analyses concepts of language in Elizabethan normative sources and the Marprelate controversy. It shows under which circumstances Elizabethans understood language as violence. It also shows that in theological controversy language concepts were used in legitimation and de-legitimation strategies.
