The composite scanning method (urbslingua)

This article describes the author’s method of composite scanning. The composite scanning method is the method used in the urbslingua (urban language); the ‘letters’ from the urbslingua ‘alphabet’ – morphos and signs – are composites. The language itself and its structure are modelled on those insights of linguistics in which the language, as well as being a communication tool, is also a means for thought and culture perceived as communication.
