Milton Model: Lost Performatives

In NLP training, we use the Milton Model to create unconscious effects. It is a powerful way to create unconcious communication for the purposes of embedding commands as well as suggesting ideas that others are more likely accept simply because of the nature of the Milton Model language patterns.

A lost performative is a phrase where the originator of the statement is missing (i.e. lost performer). So whenever a statement such as “He’s such a goat you can’t communicate with him” is used, you can classify them as lost performatives. However, a statement such as “She never comes to meetings on time” is also classified as a lost performative. The statements are simply judgments without the judger.
