The project brings together university partners for the cognitive linguistics
and computer science side of things (LaLICC, UMR 8139 CNRS-Paris4
laboratories), and the cognitive psychology aspects (LACO, Poitiers) bring in
a regional industrial company, R/D/I+ (Brest). The project also concerns the
socio-medical world :
• the national hospital of Saint Maurice 1 (in French department number 94,
Val-de-Marne) for functional physical therapy
• the Jean Couloignier medical Main lounge in Ploudaniel (in French
department number 29, the Finistère), intended as a halfway house for
handicapped people
In the applications of new uses of the Internet, the GRAMAGICOM project
proposes real, grammatically correct textual communication, produced from
linguistic operations represented by motivated pictograms, and has a variety
of possible uses, for example in:
1) technical communication aids for speech-impaired people: project A3000,
whose main result is the product, Axelia ;
2) alphabetization (Axelia);
3) new services (cellular telephones), with communication of real text instead
of ″text messages″, which are not very well adapted to the world of industry;
4) simplified translation tools for travelers’ practical needs (IPOC3).
In each application, challenges lie in grammatical performance, vocabulary
size, and the presentation and semantic description of vocabulary
