RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE AS A RESEARCH CONSTRUCT
Abstract
This article explores the classification and characteristics of discourse in modern linguistics, focusing on the distinctions between personal and institutional discourse and their respective subcategories. Particular attention is given to thematic and culturally specific discourses, including those rooted in religion. Language and religion are examined as interconnected systems of spiritual culture, with religious discourse analyzed through its various dimensions: doctrinal, cultic, and community-oriented. Strategies and functions of religious discourse, as identified by notable scholars, are discussed, including prayer, confession, affirmation, and ritual. Ultimately, the article underscores the profound influence of religious discourse on cultural, linguistic, and spiritual dimensions of human existence, highlighting its unique characteristics across different religions and its essential role in shaping the linguistic and cultural identity of societies.
