Getting an Insight into the Science of Technical Writing

Abstract

In my thesis I would like to investigate how the different special literature is thinking about the basic elements of technical writing. Nowadays, people encounter a lot of technical documents every, although they do not even know what they are dealing with. Well structured, useful documentations are created by technical writers. But how can they do it? How can be a document written by a literature teacher so different from a document written by a professional technical writer? In the twenty first century when information means power, it is very crucial to present information a way that it can be easily digestible for anyone at first sight. For workers in a multinational company whose work depends on strict deadlines, it is very important to understand information quickly and efficiently.
