[Corpora-List] Looking at concordances

[Martin Wynne]

Is anyone aware of any research that has been done on how people look at 
concordances? I'm interested in experimental research on what users do 
when they look at concordance lines, from the point of view of their 
behaviour, gaze, and any psychological aspects. References to usability 
studies on concordancer software would be also be interesting.

I'm thinking of putting together a proposal for an investigation in 
collaboration with psychologists and ethnographers into what we do when 
we look at concordances, and so I need to be aware of existing work.

I'll be happy to post a summary of results to the list.
