Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to contemporary official documents of the religious language in the form of statutes of diocesan synods. Linguistic syntactic analysis focuses on the communicative intention and the ways of expressing it formally. The focus is mainly on verbs (classical modal predicates and exponents of intent such as to command, recommend, encourage) and verb-nominal structures. Syntactic structures with additional information about the sender’s motives are also described.
