Psycholinguistics
Using the correct language patterns and spoken phrases can act as “behavioural triggers” to the people who hear them. Done properly you can influence and predict how others respond to most situations
The Psychology of Language
Despite how complex and different each language is, there are processes that, when properly and skillfully used, can have very interesting and useful results. These processes, which we will call language patterns, are what we shall explore in this course.
The ability to apply and use these patterns is both a psychological science and an art. It is a science in that much of it can be broken down into basic components and reassembled to create testable and replicable results. It is an art in that there are uncontrollable human variables that cannot always be predicted, but which can easily be managed as you become more experienced.
Some people think of psycholinguistics, persuasion using language, as almost witchcraft because the results can be quite dramatic, it’s not witchcraft or magic, it’s simply psychology.
