{ "pk": 32906, "title": "Language Evolution and Human-Computer Interaction", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Many of the issues that confront designers of interactive computer systems ako appear in natural language evolution. Natural languages and human-computer interfaces share as their primary mission the support of extended \"dialogues\" between responsive entities. Because in each case one participant is a human being, some of the pressures operating on natural languages, causing them to evolve in order to better support such dialogue, also operate on human-computer \"languages\" or interfaces. This does not necessarily push interfaces in the direction of natural language— since one entity in this dialogue is not a human, this is not to be expected. Nonetheless, by discerning where the pressures that guide natural language evolution also appear in human-computer interaction, we can contribute to the design of computer systems and obtain a new perspective on natural languages.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Paper Presentations -- Discovery Learning", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3tj9q1g2", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jonathan", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Grudin", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Aarhus University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Donald", "middle_name": "A.", "last_name": "Norman", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, San Diego", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "1991-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32906/galley/23966/download/" } ] }
