Means of influence in religious discourse

The concept of the sermon addressee, correlation of relations between the sender and the addressee and the type of influence in religious discourse are considered. The research gives the author's vision of the structure picture of the world which determines the framework of the sermon (understood as a typical, yet a specific genre of religious discourse) and its linguistic means. The results of the analysis of the means functioning, including non-verbal, and their interference in the religious discourse are given. The cognitive discourse analysis was used in the study. The analysis data were the texts of sermons (including TV versions) and the Internet movie "The guard of Zionism" by A. Monastyrev.
