Abstract

The paradigm of communication between people is changing along with global changes in the modern world. This process is related to the integration of technology into everyday life and represents an expansion of the signs and symbolic environment in the field of communication: more and more new images are appearing designed to mark the attributes of the modern world. Pictorial form of communication is a simplified, cost-effective means of communication. That is why it is widely used in education, rehabilitation, navigation systems of public spaces, web and human interaction with cyberphysical systems. However, modern pictographic systems are fragmented and poorly systematized in a constant race for compliance with the requirements of the modern world. They are almost not investigated in their practical application and are limited in their expressive possibilities. This article is devoted to the description of the initial stage of empirical research of pictographic language LoCoS and the stages of development of an alternative keyboard for communication based on it. The conclusion is made about the possibility of the existence of a universal pictographic language on the basis of its semantic and technological improvement.

Highlights

  • The idea of a universal language as a means of barrier-free communication has occurred occasionally throughout almost all of human history

  • The results of the pilot experiment allow us to conclude that communication in LoCoS language is possible with minimal training, which suggests the thesis about its intuitive comprehensibility

  • After confirming that communication is possible with the LoCoS language, we started a keyboard developing

Summary

Introduction

The idea of a universal language as a means of barrier-free communication has occurred occasionally throughout almost all of human history These attempts concerned language grammar and vocabulary (Esperanto, Blissymbolics), and logical operations (the mathematical universal language of Leibniz), and even music (Solresol). On the one hand, such features had ancient hieroglyphic languages, such as Egyptian and Chinese, as well as cuneiform writing, runic writing, Mayan writing, etc They have complementarity in their basis, and can be combined with each other, forming new concepts, reflecting the attributes of the material and spiritual world. In the XX century pictograms were widely used in the fields of mechanical engineering, major international events (Olympiads), graphic computer interfaces This cultural phenomenon of industrial sign environment was the impulse for further development of local symbolic systems [1]. A necessary condition for the study is the development of a LoCoS keyboard that meets modern technical requirements, since it is possible to study the communicative behavior of a modern user
