NLP Predicates and Phrases

In our last article we described the NLP model of representational systems.  In this article we are going to provide an extensive list of sensory based words along with the system they identify.

The lists below define the most common words and phrases that you can use to help identify the internal representations that someone else is using. There are a number of words that can refer to multiple systems, so you have to rely on other clues (as described in the earlier article) to determine their usage. For example the word pierce could be used with visual, auditory or kinesthetic representations. The word bouquet might bring to mind an image of a wedding with a bridal bouquet or the full bodied bouquet of a wine. Smell and taste are often linked and the words can easily refer to one or both, i.e. something can taste burnt and smell burnt.

Remember to use these with other cues.
