    Abstract

    The field of text linguistics has given considerable attention to what is sometimes called the principle of the economy of utterance. This a principle which is aimed at optimizing linguistic communication: it attempts to preserve the semantics of a message while minimizing the effort needed for content reception. This principle is particularly relevant to the category of applied texts, in which category, of course, the homily falls. In the present work, we employ the principle in the discipline of homiletics through the following steps. We start by critically analyzing the homily in the light of information theory, which will give insight into the homily's content. This enables us to move toward practical solutions. We then utilize insights from logic by taking up legitimate issues in the text and making their premises credible.
