Language and Communication Essential Concepts for User Interface and Documentation Design
This text proposes a different approach to computer interface design. It explains why the user-friendly interface is treated with such derision, and argues that software and hardware designers should consider such language concepts as meaning, context, function, variety, and equivalence.

http://schema.org/description
- "Introducing concepts from linguistics and language teaching, Language and Communication proposes a new approach to computer interface design. The book explains for the first time why the much hyped user-friendly interface is treated with such derision by the user community. The author argues that software and hardware designers should consider such fundamental language concepts as meaning, context, function, variety, and equivalence. She goes on to show how imagining an interface as a new language can be an invaluable design exercise, calling into question deeply held beliefs and assumptions about what users will or will not understand."
