Language technology is used increasingly for providing speech and text-based interfaces to existing applications and services. However, a number of characteristics of today's language technology make it hard to be adopted by non-linguistically skilled developers. In this paper, we propose a paradigm that conceptually scopes the coverage of the language technology that is adopted into existing applications. It is backed by a three-dimensional approach to modularization of resources that

We present an implementation of this paradigm based on the ontology-lexicon format lemon and Grammatical Framework, and show how the proposed modularity facilitates low impact adoption, through sharing and reuse of technology components and lexical resources on the web.
