religious discourse, academic discourse, religious identities, Indonesian rhetorical traditions, religious expressionsAbstract
This article critiques some arguments on religious discourse in the context of academic discourse recently proposed by Engelson (2014). In relation to this critique, four points are raised: religious identities in academic discourse, structural inequities of the spread of English in the Indonesian context, Indonesian rhetorical traditions, and the role of religious expression in academic discourse.
