Really good idea. Doesn't take too long to get a hold of the idea. It's a lot quicker than learning to read and would probably be much easier for people who struggle with literacy to learn. Once you've done it a couple of times it becomes easy to follow. Only problem is, what would you do if seeing colour was an issue, such as in the dark.
Easy set of rules and I can make sense of all the sentences listed. I think the colours might have to change to something like scales of grey or patterns rather than colour for colour blind people. Also, some languages say things in different order, I'm not sure to what extent that would affect this. Logic seems good so far though.
Man walks into hospital. Man gives money for drink. Tom meets/greets Sarah. Tom is happy. Tom wearing a t-shirt.
Tom walks into hospital, Tom meets/greets the doctor. Tom calls John, Tom asks if he (John), "would like to play cricket." John replies "no to cricket but what about football?" Tom says yes to football.
Man going to hospital Man takes money for drink Tom meets sarah Tom is happy Tom and a tshirt Tom goes to hospital, tom meets a dr Tom rings john, asks him if he wants to play cricket John doesn't want to play cricket, asks tome if he wants to play football Tom agrees to play football
1. A man walked to the hospital. 2. A man brought a cup of coffee. 3. Tom greets Sarah. 4. Tom is happy. 5. Tom's T-shirt. 6. Tom went to the hospital, Tom greets a Doctor. 7. Tom rang John Tom said, do you want to play cricket? John said no not cricket, how about football? Tom said yes to playing football.
I found it hard to match the rule of the plural symbols to the hand symbol in No. 3. I would have thought that the literal meaning of a hand, paired with a plural symbol would mean'hands'. I had to rely on my knowledge of the rest of the phrase to fill in the gap. I felt I was doing the same in No. 2 where the arrow points to the man.
I think this pictorial language is fairly easy to pick up without having to learn too many rules [i.e. what the colours represents]. However, if you were to introduce symbols for 'because' [i.e. a sqwiggly line with an arrow on the end] in order to make more complex sentences people would have to learn new symbols as well as rules.

ReplyDeleteDamn it Andy stole my first comment stop!!
ReplyDelete7. Tom rang john and asked if he wanted to play cricket, john said no lets play football instead
I hope thats right or i will feel like an idiot
Its easy enough to get the grasp of once you get used to the symbols and idenitifying them
People ,might identify the person ie.e john with a colour and not the context... just something to think about :)
