Interscript (visual communication)
Inter script is a visual communication system in which basic concepts of various kinds of daily life pictorial representations referred to.
Interscript was developed by Frank Bell (founder of the Bell Language Schools ) and Edwin Michael Wheeler and is marketed as a tool for foreign language teaching as well as literacy teaching for adults. Consecutive interpreters sometimes use similarly structured characters to make notes.
This communication system should be internationally understandable and is therefore based on widely accepted symbols from mathematics, science and music, on modern conventions for pictograms and signs and on widely used or easily understandable symbolic and iconic forms of representation. Interscript characters can be combined with one another, basic characters express terms with different additions, the meanings of which are related to one another, or are assigned to a certain part of speech by grammatical markers.
