    Hypertext and Intertext

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses hypertext and intertext. It defines hypertext as non-linear text that allows readers to choose their own reading path through links. The World Wide Web is a global hypertext system where information resides on servers linked across the internet. URLs specify the location and mechanism to retrieve web resources, with parts like the protocol, host name, and file name. Hypertext differs from linear text by breaking information into smaller units that readers can explore through connections, rather than a straight beginning to end reading. It bridges free exploration and shortcuts between knowledge representations.

    Reading and Writing Skill


    Quarter 4
    Which do you prepare?

    • Reading printed books or reading using electronic books like


    WATTPAD?
    Linear text Non-Linear text

    traditional text that needs the reader can choose his


    to be read from beginning own reading path.
    to the end 
    Hypertext

    • is a non-linear way to present information and is usually accomplished using


    “links”.
    • Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices
    with references to other text that the reader can immediately access.
    • The World Wide Web (www) is a global hypertext system of information
    residing on servers linked across the internet.
    • The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1963.
    • Hypertext allows readers to access information particularly suited to their
    needs.
    Uniform Resource Locator (URL)

    • colloquially termed a web address, is a


    reference to a web resource that specifies its
    location on a computer network and a
    mechanism for retrieving it. URLs occur most
    commonly to reference web pages (http), but
    are also used for file transfer (ftp), email
    (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many
    other applications.

    Why hypertexts?

    • In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate information by exploring


    the connections provided.
    • Hypertext is very different way of presenting information than the usual
    linear form.
    • Text no longer flows in a straight line through a book. Instead, it is broken
    down into many smaller units (lexias, to borrow a term from literary
    criticism), each addressing a few issues.
    • It acts as a bridge between two basic, opposite, and complementing elements
    that may be called gender of knowledge representation: free and shortcut
