Based on the results, the critical linguistic politeness style, including audience description using call style; the way of names report and negative and positive attributions of God in the form of verbal and noun sentence; praise, and laud and confess to the unity of God when saying divine attributes; speaker description himself and comparison and use of moderators in the order space.
