EXORCISTICKÝ KOMUNIKAČNÝ SUBREGISTER V KONTEXTE NÁBOŽENSKEJ KOMUNIKÁCIE A SLOVENSKEJ LINGVISTIKY

The study is a “pilot probe” into the issue of exorcisms and the language of exorcists, which we understand and define as a special microsocial communication sub-register within the religious macrosocial communication register. In the practical part of the study we analyse the spoken monologue texts of the five most famous Slovak Greek Catholic and Roman Catholic exorcists. We try to define some of the features of the exorcist communication sub-register on the content-thematic, compositional, pragmatic and lexical levels. Finally, we briefly outline a set of register-motivated lexemes, into which motivating cooperation and register poly-motivation interfere.
