Buehl and I are planning a collection titled <i>Keywords in Technical
Communication</i><span>,</span> and we write
to ask for your expertise, which you can share through the short survey linked toward
the end of this message. <span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As you may know, keywords books use mini-essays to describe,
explain, untangle, and (un)complicate terms that are key to a discipline. These
mini-essays are meant to be accessible and particularly useful to students and
newcomers to a field. Although there are excellent keywords collections for
Composition Studies (<span class="gmail-m_4680659571142361120m_-6758940937085508129m_-6374308207379002750gmail-author-info">Heilker and Vandenberg, 1996</span>)

such a collection does not yet exist for Technical Communication. <span> </span><span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">To identify the keywords for the collection, Jonathan and I are
completing a two-step process. First, we analyzed a corpus of 10 years’ worth
of journal publications in the field to generate an initial list. (The method
for this corpus analysis will be described in the introduction of the
collection.) As a second step, we want to collect your thoughts about the terms
on that list and any terms it may be missing.<span></span></p>
