Isi artikel

The language of religion is special, but in what ways? Samarin (1976) has suggested that it is different quantitatively from language in other domains, but not qualitatively. It uses the same linguistic elements, but to different degrees. In this paper I describe language use in a religious domain where the very notion of 'language' must be defined in a qualitatively special way. It is suggested that within the traditional islamic educational system, Arabic among the Kanuri of NE Nigeria is first acquired as a 'graphic', an indivisible whole which by its very nature is restricted to the religious domain.
