Research Problems

Design

• Semantic universals: natural and conventional
• Language control for automatic translation versus reasoning
• Aspectual-dialect design: standardization, familiality, inheritance, complexity
• APIs for distributed aspectual-dialect development
• Aspectual-dialect validation software

Use

• Determinants of prevention-resolution equilibria
• Motivations and aptitudes for language control
• Cost of native-language versus second-language control
• Cost of passive versus active competence in aspectual dialects
• Natural-language evolution with aspectual dialects
• Spontaneous exchange of meaning via aspectual dialects
