Abstract
The aim of this article is to relate theories of language to the study of religions, especially through the presentation of the epistemological framework of the Greimasian’s semiotics of the French line. The theoretical article, when observing the recurrences of the mechanisms of construction of the sense of the texts, present in the statements of religious interpretation, effected by the semiotics, tries to draw a brief history of these studies, drawing some considerations about how the project of the semiotics regarding the treatment of statements of the languages of religion. Just as the area dealing with the languages of religion differs from proposals centered on the aspects of religious communication and aspects of media relations, based on the most elementary aspects of religion and language, so does the Greimasian’s semiotics of which we work. When we take religion as a social practice, present in the tensional space of practices, we hope to contribute with the presentation of a differentiated epistemology regarding the treatment of the languages of religion.
