Abstract

This Psychology article presents the theoretical-conceptual models
that characterizes the keys to understanding and to study mental
capacity and communication skills, useful in being able to know
and analyses Linguistic Intelligence. Studies on the
development of Linguistic Intelligence have been conducted
predominantly by the following disciplines:
- Neurolinguistics that led to the formulation of mental
imaginative insights as the fundamental conception of the
Linguistic Generative Intelligence model,
- Social Cognitive Psychology that led to the formulation of
mental evolutionary adaptation as a fundamental principle of
the Linguistic Constructive Intelligence model;
- Psychology of Communication that led to the formulation of
continuous, dynamic and interactive relationship of the
communication cycle as a fundamental axiom of the
Communication Sciences.
Linguistic Intelligence is determined by typical forms of
thinking and reasoning, which adopt particular mental abilities
and specific expressive competences with respect to other
communication codes, such as the graphic-pictorial, the mimicgestural,
the musical, etc.
The structures, properties, and expressions of Linguistic
Intelligence, that characterize the conception, construction and
formalization of verbal or written communications between
people, can be analysed on the basis of three different fields of
studies:
A) PSYCHOLINGUISTIC: study the psychological
characteristics and rules of codification and decoding of
language, in the psycho-cognitive-pragmatic field of study of
linguistic communication).

PsychoLinguistics is connoted by 4 models: Structuralist
Cognitivism, Empirical Taxonomy, Generative
Neurolinguistics, Linguistic Metacommunication;
B) LINGUISTIC CREATIVITY: acts in the psycho-ideative
field of study of linguistic communication.
The Creativity is determined by the mental processes of
Constructive Intelligence and
Generative Intelligence.
The mental processes that characterize Creativity are: the
Global Perception, the
Personalizing Insights, the Multifaceted Vision, the Cognitive
Originality;
C) LINGUISTIC METACOMMUNICATION: study the types
and modes people use to express thoughts and concepts that go
beyond, beyond, what the cognitive and affective contents mean
at the level of language and communicative message in the
psycho- emotional and socio-cultural field of study of linguistic
communication.
Linguistic Metacommunication is determined by mental
symbols (cultural symbols and psychic symbols) that the person
processes and expresses during communication.
