Linguistic Image of the Non-Christian Jews in Early Christian Narrative as a Function of Inter-Group Conflict (Text Analysis and Interpretation)

Abstract

This article is an attempt to apply a psycholinguistic tools to reconstruct a linguistic image of the non-Christian Jews in chosen narratives taken from the Greek canonical Gospels of the New Testament. In this part of the analysis, I would like to use the basic and empirically confirmed thesis of the linguistic category model and attribution processes, which are crucial when analysing the language of negative stereotypes.

I will present the text analysis, results and interpretation.
