This monograph investigates the interplay of linguistics, theology, and cognitive science by analyzing the evolving theolinguistic matrices within religious and popular discourse. Focusing on English, German, and Ukrainian, it traces the diachronic interpretation of key religious concepts—righteousness, faith, and repentance—within Indo-European and Nostratic frameworks. Through comparative-historical methods and cognitive-matrix analysis, the authors reveal how these archetypal matrices shape theological communication across cultures. The work offers deep insights into the construction of religious meaning, engaging scholars in linguistics, theology, and cultural history to explore the relationship between language, faith, and identity.

This monograph delves into the complex relationship between language, religion, and culture, focusing on how religious discourse evolves and adapts across English, German, and Ukrainian contexts. By reconstructing theolinguistic matrices—the frameworks that encode religious beliefs—this work reveals how key concepts like faith, righteousness, and repentance are communicated, preserved, and transformed over time. Combining comparative linguistics with cognitive-semantic approaches, the volume offers strategic insights into the metaphorical and archetypal structures underlying religious language, bridging ancient traditions with modern communicative contexts.
