    Linguistic Thinking
    Linguistic thinking is universal by nature and is present in all of us in varying degrees, as we all use it as a major means of communication. The Linguistic pillar deals with how effectively you are able to use language to express yourself. It also deals with your sensitivity to the meanings of words, sounds, rhythms and different uses of language.
    If the Linguistic pillar is close to the top of your list in your gift sequence, words are important to you. This is expressed in different ways such as being articulate or having the ability to think in words and use words effectively when you speak and/or write. A dominant Linguistic pillar means that you primarily build memory through words - spoken, written, expressed or read.
    You will have a natural leaning toward the domains that make up language, its structure and use. These include:
Semantics: the meanings or connotations of words.
Phonology: the sounds of words and their interactions with each other.
Syntax: the rules governing the order in which words are used to create understandable sentences. One example is that a sentence must always have a verb.
Pragmatics: how language can be used to communicate effectively.
    If the Linguistic pillar is one of the first steps in the sequence of your gift, you may exhibit some of these characteristics:
You need to express and explain yourself by writing and/or using lots of words.
You like to argue, persuade, entertain and instruct.
You like to write, play with words, read and tell stories.
