商品簡介
Computer key-stroke logging is an exciting development in writing research methodology allowing analysis of revisions and pauses in the online writing process. Key-stroke logging is a dynamic area of research with broad applications in writing research and information processing.
Computer key-stroke logging and Writing is the first book in this area to successfully collect a group of leading key-stroke logging researchers into a single volume and offers an invaluable introduction and overview of the field. It provides the reader unfamiliar with the technique a sound background in key-stroke logging technology and an understanding of its potential in writing research. Leading researchers demonstrate how key-stroke logging can be used to analyse the writing process phenomena of the pause, the writing unit and the revision unit. These phenomena are illustrated with data from current key-stroke logging research projects. In the final sections the editors explore a number of application possibilities, including; how key-stroke logging, alone or coupled with other techniques, can be used to examine theoretical proposals and models, and to study translation. This work will be of interest to all researchers in the field of written composition, human computer interaction, cognitive psychology of language, and translation studies.
