Paper Summary:

This paper discusses neuro linguistic programming (NLP), a "fringe science" offshoot of linguistic research. The paper attempts to break down the misunderstandings surrounding NLP and recognize that NLP has progressed our understanding of how our minds make meaning of language.

From the Paper:

"La Fontaine, in this magnificent quote, shows that lying and deception are not synonymous in his mind. Dictionary definitions and common meanings of words rarely reflect our self-contained and original meanings. It seems that the deeper, or more ambiguous the word, the more varied each of our individual meanings are. Walk, a fairly simple word, to you or I might mean the same general thing, but to a person has a spinal fracture it might be a shinning goal in the distance. Imagine the variance of meaning for words like space, nature, love, acceptance, surveillance, or the previous examples, lying, and deceit. Single words carry plenty of meaning differentials; imagine the variance of meaning in whole sentences or dialogs of communication. Nero-linguistic programming is the study of human communication and linguistic meaning formation."
