Abstract

Graphic symbols can be ambiguous since a single one may contain various interpretations. But sometimes, two or more graphic symbols may share the same interpretations. For example, the word walking might share three different graphic symbols. This article aims to demonstrate the polysemy interpretation of graphic symbols which will be used in the Thai Picture-based Communication System. The sample graphic symbols are analyzed in syntactic and semantic aspects. The 5 categories of graphic symbols: AGENT, MATTER, EVENT, LOCATION and TIME are used to group the polysemy interpretations obtained from the graphic symbols.
