Abstract:

Language plays a key role in religion, framing how people describe spiritual
experience and giving structure to religious beliefs and practices. Bringing
together work from a team of world-renowned scholars, this volume introduces
contemporary research on religious discourse from a variety of theoretical and
methodological perspectives. It introduces methods for analysis of a range of
different kinds of text and talk, including institutional discourse within
organised religions, discourse around spirituality and spiritual experience
within religious communities, media discourse about the role of religion and
spirituality in society, translations of sacred texts, political discourse,
and ritual language. Engaging and easy-to-read, it is accessible to
researchers across linguistics, religious studies, and other related
disciplines. A comprehensive introduction to all the major research approaches
to religious language, it will become a key resource in the emerging
inter-disciplinary field of language and religion.
