摘要：An issue we have to challenge here is how to convey our thoughts to foreign people without using any language. The bottom line is that linguistic rules are too different between different languages to achieve perfect translation between them. We propose a new way to promote communications between different languages not by language translation, but by secondarily using images and symbol. Communications denote here to convey each other’s thought and to share understanding. A system we have developed by using a programming language Swift runs on iPad. When a user inputs a word that the user wants to express, this system gets images related to the word through Google Custom Search API, allocates these images and displays their relation so that the user could convey what he/she wants to express without using a language. Such interactions intermediated not by words, but by images and symbols, as a result, are expected to achieve communications in which we can convey our thoughts and share understanding beyond the so-called barrier between different languages. We investigated a possibility for the proposed method to promote and enrich communications between people.
