Epigenetic Linguistic Conditioning can be described as the neuro-linguistic conditioning imprinted during the developmental period of infancy. The imprinting of ontological dualism is induced as an acceptance of reified abstract concepts as a material things.

Our ability to absorb information is genetic with this knowledge being realised culturally. For example, whilst the psycho-physiological ability to register hunger is genetically actuated and gratified through the local diet, the ability to communicate via language is genetically initiated and realised culturally through exposure to the particular language and its grammar, whether it be English or Hindi. Countless other genetic belief systems are realised through their cultural counterparts.

Another of these genetic predispositional belief systems is transmitted and expressed as a inclination for an acceptance of transcendental dualism and (like religion) it is realised linguistically through the particular system of grammatical syntax and semantics that encode the belief systems to which the growing child is exposed. It is possible that the source of this variable expression as an acceptance of abstract concepts being real must be due to a genetic variant within a regulatory region of the gene itself. Thus forms of language and the beliefs they presuppose are copied, encoded and internalised from parents, family, peer groups and wider society, which are continually reinforced during a child's growth to maturity. A dualistically orientated lexicon and grammar is interiorised in infancy in the form of an illogical reification (concretisation) of abstraction in addition to that which has mass and occupies space. Linguistically inherited socialised ways of thinking and speaking which mitigate against reality contactedness.

The benefits of the human ability to abstract (to consider apart from a particular case or instance) includes an important neurological dissociation between the capacity to act accordingly in social contexts and knowledge about one's own best strategies for survival.

An acceptance of hypostasisation descriptively censorious of strangers or human groups perceived as being different results from an instinctual evolutionary inclination to interpret abstract statements in a way that generates group norm compliance. Such correspondence satisfies the evolutionary imperative to conserve group resources for their own survival and provide sufficient nourishment for their progeny.

Epigenetic Linguistic Conditioning enables individuals and groups to overcome potential empathy for fellow humans considered as "outsiders" and alienate human competitor groups and individuals on the basis of reifications which  tag their physical appearance, colour, religion, culture, social class, economic position, sexual orientation and behavioral differentiation.
