  Por ejemplo, tendemos a utilizar un lenguaje abstracto para describir las cualidades positivas de personas que pertenecen a nuestro grupo de familiares o amigos. “Juan es simpático”, “Paco es generoso” son frases utilizadas más frecuentemente con quien consideramos “de los nuestros”. Al contrario, utilizamos un lenguaje concreto (ej. Paco no me ayudó ayer) para referirnos a cualidades poco deseables de “los nuestros”. En contraposición, solemos usar un lenguaje abstracto para referirnos a cualidades negativas de quienes no son de “los nuestros”, y un lenguaje concreto para referirnos a sus cualidades positivas. A este fenómeno se le ha dado el nombre de sesgo lingüístico intergrupal.
