The fundamental rules of Blissymbolics:
creating new Blissymbolics characters and vocabulary

Creation of terminology must be carried out according to the fundamental rules of Blissymbolics to
ensure the integrity of the system. The structure of Blissymbolics allows the application of
consistent principles as guidelines. The reason formal guidelines are necessary is twofold:
• Because Blissymbolics is a living language, there continues to be a need to create new
vocabulary and so explicit guidelines are needed to ensure precision and accuracy in those
Blissymbols comprising the BCI Authorized Vocabulary.
• Computer implementation imposes some restrictions which can be met more easily by
following an explicit set of guidelines.
Blissymbolics. Blissymbolics Communication International (BCI) is the international authority responsible for maintaining and extending the Blissymbolics language for the purposes of augmentative and alternative
communication. The authority of the BCI rests in its usage of the language since 1971, its licence and
copyright obtained through legal agreements with Charles K. Bliss in 1975 and 1982, and in BCI
maintaining the policy for the development of Blissymbolics as contained in this document.
