No full textPat Bates graduated from Ouachita Baptist University and received a Master of Science degree in Corrections from Xavier University. She began her career in 1974 at Cedarville University as Dean of Women and later retired in 2010 as Associate Dean of Students. According to Marcy Van Meter, former disability compliance coordinator at The Cove, Cedarville University’s academic enrichment center, “Pat’s true passion for ministry was to build into the lives of students at Cedarville. She talked often of her love for students and spurring them on to develop a deeper relationship with God.” As a student, Van Meter knew Bates in the 1980s, but their friendship grew and deepened through the years. “When I married my husband, and especially when our children were born, Pat grew to be part of our family. She was a grandmother to our children and was deeply loved by them. My kids are adults now, and their memories of Pat are precious.” Bates Hall was named in Pat’s honor in 2020.https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/you_live_where/1000/thumbnail.jp
Pragmatic Features of Prayer
Get PDFAbstract
Despite the lack of research in the linguistic field pertaining to Christian prayer, this study seeks to understand the pragmatic features of prayer specifically in a university context for Christian students. The results of this study show that there are three key types of speech acts that are used in prayers: directives, expressives, and assertives. These speech acts reveal the structure and content of the prayers. Alongside this finding, the participants chose to address God in unique ways which included using names of God as filler words as well as preferring one name of God over another for the initial address. Lastly, this study revealed that participants use the word “just” frequently in prayer and that, despite its many meanings, functions in the same way as a filler word. All these findings go to show the relevance prayer has to the pragmatic field and the benefits to the linguistic research community
