Study and reflection on language in Religious Education

Abstract

Some elements are necessary for the understanding of religious teaching as a curricular component, among which is the question of language. This theme was formally approached by Wolfgang Gruen in the 1980s, but as a result of the discussions and structuring of the National Curricular Base, it is necessary to resume studies on this constituent element of a curricular component. This article is the result of a qualitative and bibliographical research carried out from academic publications identified in the Scientific Production Map Project, aiming at verifying and systematizing the theoretical aspects on the question of linguistics  as: comprehension, typology, religious language and its specific relation with religious teaching. Therefore, this text has the pretension of contextualizing the question of language in the scenario of studies on religious teaching, but understands that to expand later this work is necessary to broaden the field of dialogue with areas such as communication, philosophy of language and others that allow to deepen the thematic of the language and the didactic transposition for the pedagogical doing of the curricular component.
