| Computer interfaces and documentation are notoriously
difficult for any user, regardless of his or her level of
experience. Advances in technology are not making
applications more friendly. Introducing concepts from
linguistics and language teaching, Language and
Communication proposes a new approach to computer interface
design. The book explains for the first time why the much
hyped user-friendly interface is treated with such derision
by the user community. The author argues that software and
hardware designers should consider such fundamental language
concepts as meaning, context, function, variety, and
equivalence. She goes on to show how imagining an interface
as a new language can be an invaluable design exercise,
calling into question deeply held beliefs and assumptions
about what users will or will not understand. Written for a
wide range of computer scientists and professionals, and
presuming no prior knowledge of language-related
terminology, this volume is a key step in the on-going information revolution. |
