The present study aims to investigate the system of the visual transitivity by analyzing the images of American English file (2014) and Cutting edge (2005) series based on Halliday’s (1976) systemic functional linguistics and Kress and van leuween’s (1997-2006) social semiotics. The system of visual transitivity refers to a type of process which determines how represented participants are label...

Visual language refers to the idea that communication occurs through visual symbols, as opposed to verbal symbols or words. Contrast to a sentence construction in spoken language with a linear ordering of words, a visual language has a simultaneous structure with a parallel temporal and spatial configuration. Inspired by Deikto [5], we propose a two-dimensional string or sentence construction o...

The Bag–of–Visual–Words (BoVW) is a visual description technique that aims at shortening the semantic gap by partitioning a low–level feature space into regions of the feature space that potentially correspond to visual concepts and by giving more value to this space. In this paper we present a conceptual analysis of three major properties of language grammar and how they can be adapted to the ...

Graph grammars may be used as natural and powerful syntax-definition formalisms for visual programming languages. Yet most graph-grammar parsing algorithms presented so far are either unable to recognize interesting visual languages or tend to be inefficient (with exponential time complexity) when applied to graphs with a large number of nodes and edges. This paper presents a context-sensitive ...

This study was qualitative descriptive, which investigated what kind of gender features emerged for the male and female represented in image textbook elementary school. The data this were collected from an English entitled “Stairway a fun easy (for Grade IV Elementary Schools”, published by Tiga Serangkai. present form images texts taken textbook. analysed following theory visual grammar (Kress...

Within this contribution GENGED is presented, a development environment for visual languages. GENGED offers a hybrid language for defining the syntax of visual languages consisting of an alphabet and a grammar. So far, the main components of GENGED are given by an alphabet and a grammar editor. The syntax description is the input of a diagram editor allowing the syntax-directed manipulation of ...

A proposal for the design of a framework for developing processors for visual languages is presented. The concept of visual language is discussed and the framework-based approach to implementing visual languages is motivated. The underlying grammar-based model for specifying visual (multi-dimensional) languages is described and the main features of the proposed framework are presented. The fram...
