ABSTRACT

This paper sheds light on Fishmanian understandings of domains as clusters of people, aural behaviours, activities and artefacts through the exploration of sacred and banal domains within the Grand Mosque of Mecca, a religious site that serves as a pilgrimage for Muslims of different nationalities and language backgrounds. The overall patterns reveal varied inter-related clusters of people, languages, sound, artefacts and activities, adding insights into the overlapping ways that the sacred and the banal play out in this large public open space. The findings highlight the continued usefulness of domains for the contemporary study of research into the language of religion and for the study of broader semiotic assemblages present in the linguistic landscape.

摘要

本文通过探索麦加大清真寺内的神圣和平庸的领域，阐明了菲什曼对人，人的行为，活动和手工艺品领域的理解，这是一个宗教场所，是朝圣者朝拜不同国籍和语言的朝圣者背景。整体模式揭示了人们，语言，声音，手工艺品和活动的各种相互关联的群体，从而增加了对神圣和平庸在这种大型公共开放空间中发挥作用的重叠方式的见解。这些发现突显了领域对于继续研究宗教语言和研究语言领域中广泛的符号学组合的持续有用性。
