What is ISO 24620-3 about?
ISO 24620-3 discusses language resource management. ISO 24620-3 is the third part of the ISO 24620 series of standards that provides basic principles and a methodology for establishing a specification for designing and constructing a formally defined or controlled, system of oral communication. ISO 24620-3 discusses the system of oral communication that avoids or filters out phonetic interferences and confusions between words of the same language and between languages. ISO 24620-3 deals only with oral communication between native speakers, or non-native speakers, or a native speaker and a non-native speaker, who can be disturbed due to different phenomena, such as phoneme confusion, phonetic interferences, and confusions between words (for example: homophony, quasihomophony, or coarticulation) of the same language and/or different languages and the resulting ambiguities due, for example, to multilingual communication or stressful situations.
ISO 24620-3 deals with speakers and listeners without speech or hearing impediments, and does not include sign languages that have a phonological system equivalent to the system of sounds in spoken languages.
Note: ISO 24620-3 is applicable to other domains involving, for example, training and evaluation procedures and robots.
Who is ISO 24620-3 for?
ISO 24620-3 on controlled human communication is useful for:
- Listeners
- Native/non-native speakers
- Emergency services (Police, Fire, Ambulance, Maritime, etc)
Why should you use ISO 24620-3?
Globalization, with the suppression of national borders and the pervasion of modern technology, necessitates those languages in the widest sense (including dialects) cohabit in everyday usage. Industry and other business sectors, as well as different domains dealing with safety-critical applications such as emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, maritime, etc.), require a precise and concise language to supplement the common use of natural human languages. Confusions due to misunderstanding can, at first sight, seem anodyne; as history shows, however, they have been at the origin of serious accidents. To avoid these sorts of problems, the industry uses controlled languages.
ISO 24620-3 provides the basic principles and the methodology for the overall specification aimed at the phonetic control of oral communication.ISO 24620-3 discusses a methodology for controlled oral communication that focuses on the sound aspect of human communication. The basic problem is that oral messages interchanged between humans are pronounced with multiple accentuations and listened by you are not necessarily receptive to the same phonetic system.
ISO 24620-3 provides the methodology proposed uses the linguistic phenomena conformant to the basic principles for the production and generation of sounds and other relevant linguistic components, this instead of a lexicon, and specifies a system of constraint rules completed with an algorithm which, when applied, results in aiding avoiding ambiguities and confusion.
