Abstract

The language acquisition system assists the user in acquiring the language of an application. The system uses the dialogue context, a dialogue model and syntactic-semantic grammars to progressively build commands which, to the application program, are syntactically and semantically correct in the current context and which can be interpreted by the dialogue server which then controls the application program. The system is independent of any particular application language. The system is also multimodal and supports both speech and text input. A toolkit is provided to add this functionality to virtually any application program.
