ТАКСОНОМІЯ АСОЦІАЦІЙ ПРОВІДНИХ КОНЦЕПТІВ РЕЛІГІЙНОГО ДИСКУРСУ

Abstract

The abstract reveal the problem of the prevailing ideas of young people about the leading religious concepts. The aim of the research is to analyze students" verbal representations of religious discourse concepts. To define the leading concepts, we used a structural approach, which the classic components are: behavioral (prayer, sermon, sacraments), emotional-motivational (faith, sin) and cognitive (religion, church, priest). We used free WAT (word association test) for psycholinguistic analysis. The results of the cluster analysis showed that in the minds of young people religious discourse is represented through two main semantic categories, namely faith and the church - the priest.
