記事#34に続いて組み合わせの表現です。今回は職業です。社会には警察官や消防士(#34)以外にも多くの職業があります。PICSシンボルでは関連するシンボルを左上に背景図として置き理解をサポートする組合せパターン図があります。見る人がその職業を知ってなければそのシンボルの理解は難しくなりますが、これは言語も同様です。上段二つ目のシンボルは「校長先生」を表すシンボルですが、その概念を持たない人にとっては「学校にいる髭の人?」になるかもしれませんね。他のシンボルは分かりますか?
We will continue our lesson of "expression of combination" from the article #34. This time we focus on the occupation. There are a lot of occupations in our society other than police officer or fireman. In PICS symbol we have the picture describing the combination of pattern that supports us to understand the related symbol by putting it on the upper left side in the background picture. If the person does not know about the occupation, it is difficult to understand it, but the same thing applies to the languages. The symbol on the second top column describes the "president", but for those who do not know the concept of it, the image will be "the bearded person in school". Can you tell other symbols?
