Abstract
A common objection to the Bayesian account of the confirmation of scientific theories is that the language of science regularly changes but Bayesianism can only cope with a fixed language. This paper quashed that objection by providing the philosophical and formal tools for modelling Bayesian belief change in the face of a change in language.
