Summary/Abstract: The functioning of a group of people which can correctly identify a system of signs and its accompany rules determines semiotic coherence. It gives rise to a discursive community wherein utterances are addressed to a particular listener in accordance with the principles of semiology and textology. This text addresses the criterion for the functioning in such a community of “thought exchange”—ie. a “discursive community” within the context of the celebration of liturgy. Determining its features and accompanying principles permits a definition of the term “liturgical discourse” which is then accomplished in the following steps:—systematized, a typology of texts appearing in the liturgy;—the concept of discursive community, allowing for the clarification of the concept of “liturgical discourse”;—“textological norms” for selected texts used in the celebration of the liturgy.
