psychology-based studies on technical writing

[Jeff ALLEN <jeff -at- ELDA -dot- FR>]

Dear colleagues,

I have come across a few books lately (e.g., The Possibility of Language by
Alan Melby, Knowledge and Skills in Translator Behavior by Wolfram Wilss,
Language Engineering and Translation by Juan Sager, Training the Translator
[sorry I cannot remember the author's name: the book is at home], etc) that
discuss various psychological, cognitive, and psycholinguistic factors
involved
in the process by which a human translator translates text from one language
into another.

I would be interested in knowing what books and training manuals discuss
psychological and cognitive issues in the area of learning technical writing. 
This could also include language acquisition for Language for Special Purposes
(LSP) domains.  I can imagine that in many cases there is a section of a book
or a chapter devoted to the topic, yet it might not be reflected in the book
title.

I would be willing to post a summary based on responses received.

Please reply to me directly at <jeff -at- elda -dot- fr> 


Best regards,

Jeff Allen
