„Usłysz głos powołania”– wypowiedzi powołaniowe do życia kapłańskiego i konsekrowanego w perspektywie pragmatycznej

The aim of this article is to characterize the type of statements of vocations as linguistic action with two main functions: informative and persuasive. The author analyzes the relation transceiver, a communicative position, the sender’s assumed intention, and the strategies for its realization. The material taken from websites and folders promoting vocation to the priesthood and consecrated life, both shows tendency to construct modern texts in the form and contents, like a video clip, poster, as well as much simpler, schematic in composition, semantically and stylistically texts, based on informing and activating the recipient, encouraging him to contact with the community. The sender of text appears here frequently as a mediator between God and a future candidate for monastic life, using a positively evaluative and characteristic component – the voice of the member.
