Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the genre profile of religious discourse at the level of genre traits in terms of modern linguistic, communicative and cognitive- discursive conceptions. Genres of speech in religious discourse are considered as a fundamental factor that caused the development of (self-) composition structure: by means of genres, the model/System of “interlocutor – message Interlocutor”, speech strategies and pragmatic aims it is actualized within religious discourse. As part of the research, structural-semantic, grammatical, stylistic and cognitive criteria have been established for oral and written speech genres used for religious purposes; their functional peculiarities are also considered. The results confirm the requirement of studying religious discourse as a genre system, while exposing theoretical and practical significance of genre theory in Islamic studies and Uzbek linguistics.
