The interpretability of technical processes depends conceptually on lingual analogies. In analyzing the meaningfulness of applied linguistic designs, this chapter examines how technical design anticipates the expressive dimension of experience. Designs are articulated in the form of a blueprint for each language solution. The specifications in the blueprint are lingual anticipations functioning on the norm side of the technical aspect. On the factual side, we encounter the technical recording of the design processes of applied linguistic artefacts. Technical subjects interpret designs; the objective designs are meaningless without being interpretable. The lingual anticipations yield a first set of regulative technical ideas.
