- Abstract
- Languages of cult, which differ from languages of everyday communication, are found in every religious tradition, the author argues, but the process of social secularization brings along changes in both the religious tradition and the attitude toward the language of divine service. Since secularization implies the abandonment of the notion that basic cultural symbols are necessarily of religious origin, languages of divine service come to be revised in a manner that means either their shifting toward the national language or the introduction of diglossia. The latter is considered by the author as an attempt at softening the opposition between the language of cult and the language of everyday communication.
