المستخلص: This study presents a cognitive semantic analysis of the comforting in English religious texts on meaning construction in selected English religious texts. The main questions that the study tries to answer are related to the functions of comforting expressions in religious texts, to the similarities and differences in interpreting comforting expressions involved in the Bible. The study aims at examining the applicability of the Conceptual Integration Theory to the analysis of English comforting expression to investigaton constructing the meaning of the comforting expressions under study. In addition, the study examines the universality of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and the shared and culture specific conceptual metaphors in the comforting expressions under study. Another aim is to examine the role of grammatical structures of comforting expressions in determining the kind of conceptual integration network. The study hypothesizes the applicability of Conceptual Integration Theory and universality of Conceptual Metaphor Theory and that both are efficient to study the comforting expressions in religious texts on meaning construction in English religious texts. The study also hypothesizes the significant role played by grammatical structures in understanding comforting by determining the kind of the conceptual integration network. To achieve the aims of the study and verify its hypotheses, a model based on the Conceptual Integration Theory and Conceptual Metaphor Theory has been adopted to analyse a sample of selected English religious texts. The selected sample consists of 10 English religious texts. In the data, linguistic devices are resorted to when approaching religious texts in respect to the persuasive strategies. The macrostructures whereby comforting is included can be different between English religious contexts due to the religious differences between these data. As for the conclusions, all the hypotheses are validated.
