percentages - Controlled Language documents/presentations
Subject:percentages - Controlled Language documents/presentations From:Jeff ALLEN <jeff -at- ELDA -dot- FR> Date:Wed, 14 Apr 1999 18:18:59 +0200
Dear colleagues,
This is a short survey.
I would like to know in which languages different articles,
papers, theses, dissertations, have been
written/presented "on the topic of" Controlled
Languages / Sublanguages.
Please provide the following general information in replies:
1. language name(s) in which the information "on the topic"
of Controlled Languages / Sublanguages has been conveyed;
(Note: I am not asking for information on the amount of
documentation written "in" any specific controlled
language(s) but rather about the topic in general).
2. the _approximate_ percentage of documents/presentations
on Controlled Languages/Sublanguages that you have read/
heard in this/(each of these) language(s);
3. please differentiate between documents/presentations that
are publicly accessible (published, available on the Internet)
and those that are not (e.g., internal company documents,
company meetings). No details are necessary, just
approximate percentages.
For example:
Publicly available:
Language X: 50%
Language Y: 20%
Language Z: 30%
Not publicly available:
Language X: 75%
Language Y: 25%
If you wish to indicate the _approximate number_
of reports/papers/presentation per public and
non-public categories, it would be greatly
appreciated but is not necessary.
Many thanks in advance.
Please send replies to me directly at: jeff -at- elda -dot- fr
I will post a summary at a later date.
