  • Patent number: 5453014
    Abstract: An educational dynamic method of teaching language is disclosed wherein a set of general categories of shapes represents all the parts of speech of natural human language. Animated changes in form and dynamic interaction within and between the categories of shapes represent symbolically the actions performed on or by each part of speech. A structural framework space provides the boundaries for arrangement and movement of the shapes; the framework space is defined by the rules of the given language. Each shape has its own structure which logically represents the complements of the given part of speech. Different colors within each category of shapes represent subcategories of the corresponding part of speech. Shapes, shape changes, and dynamic interaction within and between the shapes, represent the words, expression, and action whether it be voluntary, involuntary, active or inactive.
