Verbal-linguistic smartness is one of “Multiple Intelligences”. Theoretically, it is recognized as single-dimensional or linear thinking, manifesting in its syntagmatic relation, the sequential or linear arrangement of words in a language. Beyond the traditional linguistics, the diverse schools of linguistics of general systems theory are two-dimensional. For example, Lucien Tesnière’s valence theory, Noam Chomsky’s transformational linguistics, Kenneth Pike’s tagmemics, Michael Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics, Ronald Langacker’s cognitive linguistics, Jef Verschueren’s pragmatics as a theory of linguistic adaptation, Istvan Kecskes’s intercultural pragmatics as the dynamic emergence of meaning and Jacob Mey’s “Theory of Everything” in human communication. Moreover, they apply dynamic systems thinking to study syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Halliday contended that “language can be characterized as a complex dynamic system, one that persists through constant change in interaction with its (eco-social) environment. It belongs to the class of semiotic systems (systems of meaning), in contrast with systems of other kinds, physical, biological and social.” The author proposes an emerging multidimensional intelligence linguistics, integrating the divergent schools of linguistics. It is innovative represented in dynamic wholeness spirit and transdisciplinary nature. Its ∞2 influence Model is not only three to four dimensional and fractal, but also dynamic co-systems thinking by VR to break through three major limitations: one-dimensional linear word order, two-dimensional plane printing and ultra-high loading energy induced information anxiety. It aims at synthesizing an omnipresent ecological perspective on events, relations, patterns, elements, structures, functions, processes, influence and meanings in most language.
In terms of syntax, the ∞2 influence model of multidimensional intelligence linguistics could cover all possible syntactic patterns in the hidden valence connections. In regard with semantics, the ∞2 influence model of multidimensional intelligence linguistics constructs multidimensional semantic webs or encyclopedic knowledge (frames, scripts, scenarios, schemata) from the upper to the middle, and to the lower ontology, as a scale-free, multi-level networks of meaning. As to pragmatics, the ∞2 influence model of multidimensional intelligences linguistics represents the pragmatic universals or universals of multidimensional linguistic, of which interaction is within context, or frame, or point of view between utterer and interpreter.
