564 Camelia Romero Millán and Catalina Naumis Peña Representation of Contents on Female Participation in Salaried Work Abstract The research presented here was carried out to learn about the behavior and response of controlled languages within the field of Gender Studies (GS). It focuses particularly on the subject of female participation in salaried work in Mexico by means of analysis of a sample of 110 documents on the topic that were written in Spanish and published between 2000 and 2010. The documents were culled from library catalogs in Mexican institutions of higher education that undertake GS research, thus ensuring results. In an initial phase, to identify the terminology most frequently used by authors, the automatized indexing method and Zipf mathematical model were applied and the Goffman transition point was calculated. The second phase involved using the comparative method to identify terms not found in the controlled languages. The results are meant to contribute to the enrichment of controlled languages, closing terminological voids that, in this case, exist in Mexico with regard to what is known as emerging topics, within indexing tools. 1. Introduction This research is focused on finding out how far the organization of knowledge through construction of controlled languages (subject and thesauri headings) has responded to the progress and expansion of Gender Studies (GS) as a field of study. The purpose of language in representing contents is to respond to the phenomena studied in science within an environment where catalogs tend to become generalized and incorporated through interconnected data and interoperability of languages. In general, terminological exploration is carried out through recovery of documents within a subject area. In this case, the terminology used by authors is contrasted with the controlled languages and thesauri used in library catalogs in order to define the existence or lack thereof of local or specialized terms that are or are not reflected in the catalogs of Mexican libraries specialized in the topic. In Mexico, the libraries of the Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES, Institutions of Higher Education) have developed GS collections in response to interest that the subject has stimulated within the academic community. Given the new terminology constantly being coined by authors to express themselves and that turns into specialized language, it is essential to consider incorporating it into controlled languages, which are tools for indexing information sources and making them retrievable. 2. Characteristics and Theoretical Foundation of the Research The study concentrates on observation, analysis and evaluation of the language used to classify documents in Spanish dealing with the participation of women in salaried work in Mexico. Considered one of the most recurrent topics in GS, the subject was further chosen given the impossibility of covering all aspects of the discipline. https://doi.org/10.5771/9783956504389-564 Generiert durch IP '207.241.231.108', am 15.01.2022, 11:53:53.
