Abstract
In order that an improved communications interface between a human and a computer be provided, the interface to the computer program is directed to accommodate the variabilities of human communication rather than accommodate the rigid structure of syntax, grammar, and semantics normally used in communications with a computer. A computer program human interaction dialog is customized by detecting a need of the computer program to present knowledge to a user in human perceptible form and providing options of grammar and semantics for describing the knowledge. These options of grammar and semantics are presented as a choice to the user. The user's choice is saved for later use when the knowledge itself is presented.
