However, there is hardly any research on how spatial lexicon-screenshot combinations work for procedural tasks in English user manuals for non-native speakers. This article reports some preliminary findings on whether and how various spatial text-screenshot combinations in software manuals can help readers comprehend the task with reasonable efficiency. Further, this study provides an indication of how readers like to access text and screenshots in software manuals, whether these resources help build mental models, identify objects, icons on screen and verify readers' actions for accuracy.","PeriodicalId":348807,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124733752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach is to look at communication about hazards and risks from official and unofficial sources and public behavior together, understanding risk and hazard communication as public discourse. For analytic purposes we distinguish instrumental (governmental and organizational) and communal (conversational and everyday) strands of discourse to identify problematic conditions for risk and emergency communication. Preliminary findings apply to the public information- perception-behavior relationship as it affects response to weather-related natural disasters. Keywords: emergency communication, risk communication, public information, discourse analysis.","PeriodicalId":348807,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128679515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mobile phone use can be difficult for outsiders to observe because of the intimate nature of the devices. Mobile use can also be multimodal (voice and text), further complicating data collection. The mobility and multitasking that are facilitated with the device pose logistical challenges for data capture as well. This paper presents a literature review of innovative methodologies for mobile phone studies. Some of these methods include cameras and other recording devices, diary studies, and controlled experiments. This paper also presents the multimethod approach that was used in an original field study of mobile phone use for supporting personal and romantic relationships in India: questionnaire, interview, participant observation, and mobile diary.","PeriodicalId":348807,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128964261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional handicraftsmen specially have rare skills in local craft manufacturing firms. The process of transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge is very important to maintain traditional manufacturing.
