Abstract:

The aim of the research is to provide motivation for the necessity of communication with God and to justify the generation of a specific type of Speech Acts (SAs), which involve a communicative triad: the producer and dual addressees – a real or virtual interlocutor and God, through a brief diachronic overview of some philosophical perspectives on the idea of God, based on material from Polish paremiology. The success of SAs is guaranteed by the presence of the Almighty, directly or indirectly invoked in SAs emanating from proverbs. This presence is presented in the study as part of the communicative roles of the Almighty: the Absolute Idea, the Absolute Ruler, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Creator, and the Absolute Mystery. The subject’s inner imperative generates illocutionary impulses, demonstrating reverence, devotion, most often non-contradiction, and dedication to the Higher Power. The methods used include comparative, cognitive-analytical, semantic-pragmatic, and conceptual-prognostic ones.

Keywords:

human, God, philosophy, communication, SAs, proverbs.
