✦ Synopsis
This paper discusses an extension of MUSLI, a visual language based on a movie metaphor, for augmenting text and voice messages. We begin by describing the MUSLI framework, object structure, and possible language structures. The language supports the animation of symbols and icons, together with interactive access to databases of multimedia objects that are alternative representations of the symbols. The structure of the elements and the language relations between them serve as a semantic foundation for an augmented voice communication system. We shall discuss the inherent advantages of this approach, such as suitability for mobile technology, and give several examples of possible MUSLI 'conversations'.
