The paper investigates how religious ritual texts facilitate autocommunicative processes using the Great Kanon of St Andrew of Crete as an illustrative case study.
Applied Juri Lotman’s semiotic theory of autocommunication as the primary theoretical framework.
Integrated contemporary concepts from social and cognitive semiotics, focusing specifically on viewpoint and multimodality in liturgical performance.
Demonstrated that the Great Kanon serves autocommunicative functions by supplying a rhetorical metalanguage used to interpret Old and New Testament narratives.
Showed that multimodal enactment in ritual turns scriptural engagement into an unfolding dialogue where biblical figures provide frameworks for reinterpreting personal life experiences and the self.
