Abstract
The iconicity and transparency properties of the ARASAAC pictographic symbol set is examined, and compared to that of other established symbol sets (SPC and Blissymbols). 34 undergraduate students participated in the study, and were exposed to a task in which 114 symbols were presented from four grammatical categories (nouns, verbs, adjectives and linguistic symbols) and their relation with their meaning was determined using a 7-point scale. Results indicate that pictograms from the ARASAAC set have an adequate degree of iconicity and transparency, even higher than symbols from the SPC set, although significative emerged related to the different grammatical categories.Downloads
