This study examines the role of the concept of "physical purity from impurities" in the religious texts of Yarsan (Ahl-e Haqq) and its reflection in the ideology, culture, and social structures of the Yarsan community from the perspective of the sociology of language.
The primary objective is to analyze the dynamic interaction between language and society in shaping religious ideology, ethnic identity, religious power hierarchies, and social norms. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the research draws on library-based data (Yarsan’s secret texts) and sociological content analysis.
Findings indicate that "purity" is constructed as a multidimensional concept (physical, spiritual, moral, and doctrinal) within Yarsan texts, mediated through linguistic mechanisms such as lexical taboos, ritual speech acts, and metaphorical narratives. These mechanisms regulate socio-religious legitimacy and collective norms. By standardizing sacred ideological language and marginalizing non-formal dialects, the texts reinforce in-group cohesion, solidify religious ideology, and legitimize the authority of religious leaders.
The study concludes that language in Yarsan functions as an active tool for reproducing hegemony, enforcing social control, and binding ideology to cultural and social order. The discourse of "purity," through sanctified ling uistic codes, institutionalizes language as a means of legitimizing religious power, regulating hierarchical relations, and reflecting ritual beliefs.
This research illuminates the intricate interplay of language, ideology, and power in closed religious communities, demonstrating how sacred discourse perpetuates institutionalized authority and cultural identity.
