- W3183893344 abstract "This research attempts a comparative study of the religious language and that of other fields of human endeavour on one hand and the language of Orthodox and Pentecostal churches on the other hand. Adopting the Speech Act Theory, the study undertook the linguistic analysis of data at the lexical/lexico semantic, graphological, and grammatical levels. The study observed that religious language is distinct from day-to-day language use. The study also observed that the method of delivery of religious sermons varies in Orthodox and Pentecostal Churches. The research also revealed the rich style of religious language with wide use of archaic words and punctuation marks which make the language complex and prove that it does not belong to the modern English. It was also observed that preachers in Orthodox and Pentecostal churches consciously deploy such punctuation marks as coma, semi-colon, full-stop and quotation to emphasize different points. These punctuation marks create complexities in the text; a situation which is a major characteristics of religious language of sermons. At the lexical level, the choice of words is outdated, replete with archaic words such as: thou, Oh Lord, thy, God, spirit, righteousness among others. In terms of syntax, it was discovered that most of the sentences used were simple sentences. Finally, the paper concludes that while religious sermons and mode of delivery in the Orthodox churches retain the reverence/sanctity of religion that of Pentecostal churches seems to play down on it." @default.
