There are two parts to Form; message mode and syntax.
Mode: Messages can be transmitted many different ways and include symbol systems (sign language, picture representations, icons, writing or speech) gestures, body language, and even behavior..
Syntax: Form includes grammar, word order, word endings, verb tenses, and more. It is the ability to put concepts together for different meaning. The form can be transmitted with any symbol system (sign language, picture representations, icons, writing or speech). An example of the one word (dog) and the meaning changing by adding a word (barking dog, big dog, friendly dog).This is an area often neglected with beginning augmentative communication users.
