The authors investigate 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, they trace 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, they reveal how these archetypal matrices shape theological communication across cultures. The work offers deep insights into the construction of religious meaning.
