NLP Now - The META MODEL - Lack of Referential Index

LACK OF REFERENTIAL INDEX

The Meta Model looks at the language patterns we make, which are made at the surface level (click to read) to recover the deleted information.

Lack of Referential Index occurs in a statement when the person doing the act is delete or not mentioned, or by using a group name rather than referring to a specific person.

Common words used in statements which have a Lack of Referential Index are:-

            "a person, they, we, people, someone."

A statement can be made:-

            "People love chocolate cakes."

This can be challenged by:-

            "Which people in particular like chocolate?"
            "Who specifically likes chocolate cake?"

Statement:-

            "French people love to eat frogs legs."

Challenge:-

            "Which French people eat frogs legs?"
            "Who in particular loves frogs legs?"
