Abstract

This article presents an analysis about the use of pronouns in the text "Sendbrief von Dolmetschen" ("Open letter on translating") originally written by Martin Luther in Germany in 1530. The objective is to try to identify the addressee(s) referred by Luther from frequency and location of pronouns use in this text. Regarding the question about justification by belief, there is clearly a debate of ideas between Luther and his opponents ("I" against "them"). When the question about the intercession of saints is concerned, the text is directed to his followers (noticeable use of "we"). It is concluded that there is not a single addressee, but many of them, which are highlighted along the text.
