Abstract

Religious moderation has increasingly been acknowledged as a fundamental strategy for cultivating social harmony and mitigating conflicts arising from religious intolerance. This study aims to investigate grammar features in English texts to promote religious moderation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design, specifically using discourse analysis to examine the grammatical features used in English texts that promote religious moderation. The data for this research consisted of English language texts that explicitly or implicitly promote religious moderation. These texts were taken from essays of religioun moderation in ChatGPT application. The text was analyzed for clause structure. The frequent use of complex and compound-complex sentence constructions enables authors to articulate nuanced and interconnected ideas, which is essential when addressing the complexities of interfaith understanding. Modal verbs enhance the rhetorical impact of the texts by signaling necessity and potentiality, while the use of passive voice contributes to a neutral and inclusive tone. In conjunction with cohesive devices, these grammatical features collectively improve the clarity, coherence, and overall engagement of the discourse. Future studies may benefit from examining additional linguistic dimensions, including lexical choices, rhetorical strategies, and cultural influences, to gain more holistic perspective on how language facilitates the promotion of religious moderation.
