#43 Language Series 07: Sleight of Mouth Patterns – part 3
(5 votes)
In this episode we are concluding the Sleight of Mouth patterns with the Alogical, or as we also call it Analogical, or Metaphorical SOM pattern.
#42 Language Series 06: Sleight of Mouth Patterns – part 2
(4 votes)
In this episode, we explain and give examples of the "neurological" SOM patterns, the second class of SOMs in our classification.
#41 Language Series 05: Sleight of Mouth Patterns – part 1
(8 votes)
From Wikipedia: Ultimately, Sleight of Mouth focuses on influence by challenging, and thus changing, beliefs. [...] in Sleight of Mouth the concept of belief is built on a more specific set of definitions, as follows:
- Complex Equivalence: X=Y, or X is equivalent to Y
- Cause-Effect: X causes Y, X results in Y
In this episode, we define the sleight of mouth patterns, introduce our own classification, and show the first group of these patterns – the "logical" SOM.
#32 Language Series 04: Meta-Model – Deletions
(3 votes)
This is the third and last podcast on the Meta-Model in this language series, to be followed by Sleight of Mouth patterns, and the Milton Model patterns, each a small series in itself.
#31 Language Series 03: Meta-Model – Distortions
(no votes)
This is the second in the series of talks on the Meta-Model, where we cover five patterns of distortions:
- Nominalizations
- Modal operators of possibility
- Modal operators of necessity
- Presuppositions
- Mind Reading
As before, we chose our examples from 3 different areas:
- Politics
- Relationship
- Business operations
And we run each pattern through three examples from each of those areas.

#30 Language Series 02: Meta-Model – Generalizations
(2 votes)
The meta-model in neuro-linguistic programming (or meta-model of therapy) is a heuristic set of questions designed to specify information, challenge and expand the limits to a person’s model of the world. It responds to the distortions, generalizations, and deletions in the speaker’s language. The meta-model forms the basis of Neuro-linguistic programming [...] (Wikipedia)

#29 Language Series 01 – an Overview
(2 votes)
- Language and NLP
- NLP – is Neuro-Linguistic Programming – language is a key
- Language is the habitat we live in, and learn. NLP is learning how to learn.
- Comparison with “wolf children” – those who don’t have a language
- Language is enfolded in us, and the context unfolds it out of us.
- Language shapes and creates realities.
- Ambiguity in words
- Linguistic relationships that wouldn’t have existed without the language
- What we think changes what we sort for, and the language is the tool that directionalizes the mind
- How different languages shift the perceptions of reality
- Pioneering work in Language
- Alfred Korzibski – connection of language and neurology, language and environment.
- The map is not the territory (distortion)
- The map does not represent all of the territory (deletion)
- Every map is self-reflexive (generalization)
- Noam Chomsky – transformational grammar. Deep structure and surface structure.
- NLP: The Meta-Model, the Milton Model, and the Sleight of Mouth
- Alfred Korzibski – connection of language and neurology, language and environment.
- The structure of the following podcasts in the language series
(total of 11 podcasts including this one)- Three main models, each in three podcasts (total of 9 podcasts):
- Meta-model
- Sleight of Mouth patterns
- Milton model
- For each model, we pick 3 different contexts, and apply each pattern in each of those contexts
- The final podcast will tie all the models together
- Three main models, each in three podcasts (total of 9 podcasts):

#7 Nested Loops – Stories within Stories within Stories…
(27 votes)
We briefly define what nested loops are, then each of us tells a different story, by embedding one story into the story of others. Once the stories unwind themselves, and you slowly start coming back from the enchantment of the trance, we tell you another story about the nested loops, discuss their practical applications, and close the session with parting thoughts about nested loops.

#5 The Power of Language – and Going Beyond
(44 votes)
Communication – Using Language and Going Beyond
Communication is a process that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods. Communication requires that all parties understand a common language that is exchanged. A language is a system of symbols and the rules used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Though commonly used as a means of communication among people, human language is only one instance of this phenomenon. (Wikipedia)
This introductory podcast spans a range of topics:
- What Is Language?
- The Structure of Language
- Communicating with Others
- Weaving Spells (Who is Milton Erickson?)
- Breaking Spells – Meta-Model and Modeling
- Uncovering lost meaning, disambiguating language
