Exploring various interfaces between communication and technology, German and French scholars of communication, linguistics, and other social sciences cover the transfer of technical knowledge through communication; the role of sign systems like language and visual images for transferring information; and relations between technology, culture, and computerized communication. Among their topics are cognitive models of processing procedural instructions, how users can be provided with the right questions and answers, technical communication and translation, way-points in the historical development of instructional illustrations, and the interaction of cultural diversity and new media as an element of European integration.
