Iberia is a synchronic corpus of scientific Spanish designed mainly for terminological studies. In this paper, we describe its design and the infrastructure for its acquisition, processing and exploitation, including mark-up, linguistic annotation, indexing and the user interface. Two pre-processing tasks affecting a large number of words are described in detail: de-hyphenation and identification of text fragments in other languages. We also show how some of the reported statistics, namely, dispersion and association, are used for research on lexis.

This paper describes an experimental study that compares a graphical user interface for a computer-telephony product designed without the involvement of a human factors engineer to a redesign of that interface designed with a human factors engineer late in the development cycle. Both interfaces were usability tested with target customers. Results from a number of measures, both subjective and objective, indicate that the interface designed with the human factors engineer was easier to use than the interface designed without the human factors engineer. The results of this study show the benefits of involving human factors engineers in the design of graphical user interfaces even towards the end of a development cycle. However, this involvement is most effective when human factors engineers are included as an integral part of the design and development process even at this late stage in the process.

This study investigates social network site affordances and their implications for perceptions of marginalized communities. I employ Facebook as a case study and speak with young adult users to comprehend how socially marginalized groups are perceived through Facebook’s affordances. In particular, I consider: How familiar are users with Facebook’s tools and functionalities? How are issues of gender and race represented through the site’s interface? How do users conceive of gender and race? The findings suggest that gender is perceived as a more important identifier than race and that Facebook is post-racial, because of the user interface choices made. In addition, my participants view Facebook as an official social space that should include “authentic” identities; although Facebook has shaped authentic to mean accurate. I conclude that while the construction of affordances is a negotiation between user, interface, and designer, the designers have the most power because they have created the spaces in ways that will most benefit Facebook. In addition, users who are more situated in the socio-cultural majority have no desire to enact agency within Facebook’s structure because they are accustomed to forms and official documents that are well suited to fit their identification needs.
