The Language of Religion
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
Sociolinguistics, the study of language in relation to social realities, examines religion only because it is another domain of human behavior where language is an important component. Its primary allegiance is to linguistics, the science of language. Within this discipline it has its own goals and methodologies. But because it is socio-linguistics, it draws from and contributes to a wide range of studies. It will be useful to summarize what is meant by a sociolinguistic examination of religion, for when we talk about 'the language of religion' or 'language in religious practice', we mean something quite different from what philosophers and theologians mean by these expressions.
