Description: "This book uses discourse analytic techniques in contributing to an understanding of the complex relationship of gender and language alongside religion and religious communities as experienced by various religious groups around the world. Here, current studies in the field of linguistics explore how gender and various religions intersect with language use. The universal and diverse experience of religion informs this unique collection of work concerning the use of language in religious communities and in interaction with religious and personal identity. Those with interests in Linguistics, Religious Studies and Gender Studies will find this book stimulating concerning the role language plays within religious practice for both men and women."--Jacket.
