| Résumé: | This research note focuses on how present-day British Quakers fit into theories of social accommodation that are seen as predictable for religious groups over time. Typically this has been cast in terms of move from a sectarian sensibility to a denominational one. Here I suggest, however, that in a highly secular society, the desire to accommodate can lead to a process of internal secularisation as an internal linguistic coherence becomes developed into linguistic assimilation with wider society. Examples of this possible re-expression of Quakerism are given along with ideas for how this theory might be more fully tested.This article was published open access under a CC BY licence: https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0. |
