Bringing together work from a team of world-renowned scholars, this volume introduces contemporary research on religious discourse from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. It introduces methods for analysis of a range of different kinds of text and talk, including institutional discourse within organised religions, discourse around spirituality and spiritual experience within religious communities, media discourse about the role of religion and spirituality in society, translations of sacred texts, political discourse, and ritual language. Engaging and easy-to-read, it is accessible to researchers across linguistics, religious studies, and other related disciplines. A comprehensive introduction to all the major research approaches to religious language, it will become a key resource in the emerging inter-disciplinary field of language and religion.

Paper discusses topical problems of preserving and further strengthening tolerance in Georgia as an attribute of contemporary Georgian society. An interplay between religious and ethnic aspects of conflict is a primary focus of the paper. It is argued that despite the rarity of religion-driven conflicts between different ethnic groups, there is an acute need for preventive measures to avert conflict in the future. Effective and coordinated efforts on the part of international organizations and individual governments are seen as of increasing importance as they support Georgia's political stability and economic growth.

Секция 7. Коммуникация в социально-гуманитарном знании, экономике, образовании ; Представлен компаративный анализ коммуникаций и политики в сфере образования Беларуси и России в с учетом роста роли религии и религиозного мировоззрения. Показано, что в Беларуси идеология жизнедеятельности государства создает благоприятные условия для подготовки национально ориентированных специалистов. Религиозные институты оказывают существенное влияние на формирование отношений человека к национальному государственному управлению. При этом творчески используются современные технологии коммуникаций и благожелательное отношение государства к участию представителей официально зарегистрированных религиозных организаций в процессах обучения и воспитания. Религиозные институты являются одним из главных факторов социализации, в коммуникациях с людьми апеллируют к культурным традициям, к духовной общности, уважению к ближнему, естественному стремлению человека к справедливости и благополучию. В России существует проблема формулирования объединяющей все социальные слои идеи социально-экономического развития государства и общества. ; Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке РФФИ и АНО ЭИСИ в рамках научного проекта № 19-011-31297 ; The comparative analysis of communications and policy in the sphere of education of Belarus and Russia in view of the growing role of religion and religious worldview is presented. It is shown that in Belarus the ideology of the state creates favorable conditions for the training of nationally oriented specialists. Religious institutions have a significant impact on the formation of human relations to national governance. At the same time, modern communication technologies and the benevolent attitude of the state to the participation of representatives of officially registered religious organizations in the processes of education and upbringing are creatively used. Religious institutions are one of the main factors of socialization, in communication with people they appeal to cultural traditions, to spiritual community, respect for the neighbor, the natural human desire for justice and well-being. In Russia there is a problem of formulation of the idea of social and economic development of the state and society uniting all social layers.

A scholar of world religions investigates religiously motivated violence that occurred in medieval Tibet and Bhutan, as well as in modern India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Japan. The fusion of religious and national identity in high lamas and divine kings has caused just as much violence in Asia as it did in Europe and the Middle East.
