By analyzing selected key words from Luther’s writings on education, the article undertakes a lexical-semantic approach to the Reformer’s concept of education. An appropriate education for everyone represents for Luther the key to the preservation and further development of the Reformed society. The article observes the key concepts of his view on education regarding the two major educational institutions, school and university. To refer to the educational process at the school level, Luther prefers to use basic or root words, which acquire a higher degree of abstraction through processes of word formation (derivation and composition). Concerning the university level of education, Luther’s writings sow the semantic seed for today’s key terms such as Vorlesung and Bildung.

Abstract
By analyzing selected key words from Luther’s writings on education, the article undertakes a lexical-semantic approach to the Reformer’s concept of education. An appropriate education for everyone represents for Luther the key to the preservation and further development of the Reformed society. The article observes the key concepts of his view on education regarding the two major educational institutions, school and university. To refer to the educational process at the school level, Luther prefers to use basic or root words, which acquire a higher degree of abstraction through processes of word formation (derivation and composition). Concerning the university level of education, Luther’s writings sow the semantic seed for today’s key terms such as Vorlesung and Bildung.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
