Constructive Principle of Religious Style: Ontological Basis

Abstract

To the present day, the linguistic description of the religious style is reduced to characterizing certain genres, such as preaching, prayer, message, hagiography. The choice of the constructive principle of religious style and the description of its ontological foundations have not yet been set as an objective scientific study. The review demonstrates how the idea of proto-textualism of religious style is advanced and, consequently, the protogenic conditioning of all modern religious genres. The idea of proto-textualism receives a communicative, pragmatic and categorical textual basis in this review. The constructive principle of religious functional style is determined by the peculiarities of religious consciousness and religious activity. The characterization of these ontological principles of dual peace and salvation lies in the notion of the text-sphere embodied in the constructive principle of proto-textuality, which implies the obligatory support of each of the following religious texts relating to the religious prototype.
