Relational Grammars (RGs) are one of the higher-dimensional grammar formalisms that have been proposed for representing visual languages (VLs). This paper serves as an overview of the formalism as well as a case study of its application in a visual language interface (VLI) for process modeling. Relational Grammars are a member of the context-free family of Constraint Multiset Grammars (Marriott...

The focus of this paper is on crafting a new visual language for attribute grammars (AGs), and on the development of the associated programming environment. We present a solution for rapid development of VisualLISA editor using DEViL. DEViL uses traditional attribute grammars, to specify the language’s syntax and semantics, extended by visual representations to be associated with grammar symbol...

Recent psycholinguistic experiments show that acoustic and syntactic aspects of online speech processing are influenced by visual context through cross-modal influences. During interpretation of speech, visual context seems to steer speech processing and vice versa. We present a real-time multimodal system motivated by these findings that performs early integration of visual contextual informat...

This paper deals with the semantic enrichment of automatic annotations of images. Since it partially tackles the Semantic Gap Problem, semantic image annotation has received a large attention in the recent years. Nevertheless, the results of existing image annotation approaches are still not sufficient. We propose an original approach combining a priori knowledge (in our case, the WordNet lexic...

This article presents a tripartite framework for analyzing multimodal texts. The three analytical perspectives presented include: (1) perceptual, (2) structural, and (3) ideological analytical processes. Using Anthony Browne’s picturebook Piggybook as an example, assertions are made regarding what each analytical perspective brings to the interpretation of multimodal texts and how these perspec...
