Leksykalno-stylistyczne zjawiska we współczesnych tekstach urzędowych Kościoła (na przykładzie statutów synodów diecezjalnych)
Lexical and stylistic features of contemporary official Church texts

Summary/Abstract: Selected texts of the diocesan synods’ statutes served the authors to identify the lexical and stylistic features characteristic of the official religious texts. It was determined that the analysed texts combine the features of the general official style and the elements of the religious language. The features of the official style include the technical vocabulary (the administrative and legal terminology, the formal words, the directives), the analytic syntactic structures, and the specific traits distinctive of the official documents. The religious aspect of the discussed language variant is constituted by the specialized vocabulary (the religious terminology, the general religious lexis), and the frequent references to Latin. The influence of the other religious language variants has also been observed (the community jargon, the preacher’s language, the texts of the prayers, etc.).
