Speech Acts In Religious Discourse And Their Pragmatic Functions

This article analyzes speech acts in religious discourse and their pragmatic functions based on a linguopragmatic approach. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of scholars such as J. Austin, J. Searle, G. Leech, and T. van Dijk, the study reveals the characteristics of the realization of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in religious speech. Through illustrative examples, the moral-philosophical, normative, emotive, appellative, and identificational functions of speech acts in religious discourse are examined, and their communicative significance in strengthening faith and shaping religious consciousness is substantiated.
