Linguistic intelligence is the ability to use language to excite,
please, convince, stimulate or convey information.
Linguistic Intelligence involves not only ease in producing
language, but also sensitivity to the nuances, order and rhythm of
words.
Poets exemplify this intelligence in its mature form.

:
"The Word Player"
Students who enjoy playing with rhymes, who pun, who always have a
funny story to tell, who quickly acquire other languages -including
sign language - and who write copious notes to their friends in
class all exhibit linguistic intelligence.
