[Lexicog] Q: Language and Technology

[Klaus Spreda]

Hallo Terence,

I would be willing to try and answer your questions. But I cannot get your quetionaire. When I click on it_all_fitz at yahoo.com Winword tries to open but does not succeed. Probably because of some security device. Would you send the questionaire as an attachment to me?.

Cordial greetings,
Klaus

  Hello All,

  I am Terence Fitzgerald, a graduate student in Pratt Institute’s School of Information and Library Science.

  My academic work focuses on human-computer interaction, particularly the ways in which, as Marshall McLuhan wrote, “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.”  Currently, I am examining technology’s effects on people’s relationship with language.  Specifically, I question whether technology is transforming that relationship in ways never seen before—or simply causing them to revert to existing behaviors.

  As part of my work I have constructed a brief questionaire for lexicographers and linguists.  The responses I compile will be used to inform future projects.  If you are willing to answer the questionnaire, please reply to me off list at it_all_fitz at yahoo.com.

  Sincerely,
  Terence
