Abstract: This paper discusses the language forms in the religious life of grassroots society from the perspective of "everyday language". The research question arises from the author's distant observation of anthropological studies of religion as well as the field data gained from listening to the discourses of daily religious life. This paper argues that until recent anthropological studies of religion have not touched on one dimension related to religion/faith, that is, religion and faith from the perspective of everyday language discourse. What we often encounter in the field is the unity of "talking and doing" rather than just "doing" religion. Although the perspective of "doing religion" also includes "talking", the "talking" in this article refers to "words and actions" and "words and things" related to realism of everyday language. Research based on the perspective of daily language not only relies on long-term field observations, but also requires contemporary audio and video technology as a means of measurement (mapping).
This study finds that local dialects create a differentiated life world of family members, relatives, and fellow villagers, referred here as "家人世界"(Jiaren shijie, family world) of people-ghosts-things woven by daily language. "Family world" does not refer to the actual existence of kinship, but only a conceptual or representational understanding of the effects of speech in daily interactions. The paper does not assert that the "family world" is purely constructed, or formed by consensus, as some pragmatists suggest, but views the concept as occurring in the context of certain forms of life from the perspective of everyday language realism. It is of great significance to discuss discourses in religious life from the perspective of daily language, that is, to avoid treating the "family world" in the context of dialects (Chinese) as a synonym in the content of cross-linguistic societies. In short, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of understanding the "家人世界" from the perspective of everyday language.
