An Introduction to Religious Language: Exploring Theolinguistics in Contemporary Contexts - Softcover
Synopsis
Religious language is all around us, embedded in advertising, politics, and news media. This book introduces readers to the field of theolinguistics, the study of religious language. Investigating the ways in which people talk to and about God, about the sacred, and about religion itself, Theolinguistics considers why people make certain linguistic choices and what they accomplish. Introducing the key methods required for examining religious language, Valerie Hobbs acquaints readers with the most common and important theolinguistic features and their functions. Using critical corpus-assisted discourse analysis with a focus on archaic and other lexical features, metaphor, agency, and intertextuality, this book examines religious language in context. Highlighting its use in both expected locations, such as modern-day prayer and politics, and unexpected locations, including advertising, sport, healthcare and news media, Theolinguistics examines the shifting and porous linguistic boundaries between the religious and the secular. With discussion questions and lists of further readings for each chapter, and a companion website featuring video excerpts, tools for corpus research and links to archives, this is the ideal introduction to the study of religious language.
