THE EXTENDED META-MODEL Under / Over Defined Words

You know about the original, classic Meta-Model of Language that was developed in NLP in 1975, that I have been covering in the past articles. But do you know about the Extended Meta- Model that I created in 1996 at the behest of Richard Bandler? That is less known although it was published in 1997 under the title, Secrets of Magic, then under the title Communication Magic in 2001. Frank Pucelik, one of the original developers of NLP liked it so much that he and Byron Lewis put it in their 2015 book, Magic DeMystified. So you might think that it is well-known in the field of NLP. But it is not. Even among Meta-Coaches, it is not well known. In Communication Magic I introduced the following nine additional distinctions to the Meta- Model. The first seen come from Korzybski and Science and Sanity.

1. Over/Under Defined Terms (O/U)

2. Delusional Verbal Splits (DVS)

3. Either-Or Phrases (E-O)

4. Multiordinality (M)

5. Static or Signal Words (SW)

6. Pseudo-Words (PW)

7. Identification (Id.)

8. Personalizing (Per.)
