HYPERTEXT and INTERTEXT

Hypertext is text displayed on electronic devices that is interconnected by hyperlinks which allow readers to navigate to additional information by clicking links. Hypertext is non-linear and allows readers to learn associatively by exploring connections. The World Wide Web is a global hypertext system where most browsers display URLs in the address bar to reference web pages or other resources on computer networks.

Reading and Writing Skills

April 23, 2024


Reading and writing go beyond finding the linkage of the
evidence and corresponding texts and identifying and
interpreting possible uncertainties and flaws in the reasoning of
the author. It also means understanding that texts are always
developed with a certain context, thus its meaning and
interpretation are affected by a given set of circumstances.
Moreover, reading now involves a relatively new way of reading
a text online as brought by the advent of the internet and
technology.
Reading online is a dynamic visual thrill that draws learners’
attention and engages them in various creative or vivid ways to
learn, apart from the usual physical white pages. Since the
majority of our 21st century learners gain knowledge from
visuals, they learn by reading or seeing pictures. Thus, online
reading is deemed significant for it triggers one’s imagination,
boosts one’s creative thinking, and builds one’s understanding of
the “big picture.” Today, let us practice our reading skills as we
discuss hypertext.

Browsers and other similar technology have made it very easy


for readers to obtain the information they want, in the sequence
that they prefer. This is through the use of links in a digital
device which takes the reader into another text.
HYPERTEXT
Hypertext is a non-linear way to present information and is usually
accomplished using “links”. Such links help the readers navigate further
information about the topic being discussed and may also lead to other links
that can direct the readers to various options. Hypertext also allows the
readers to create their meaning out of the material given to them and learn
better associatively.
HYPERTEXT
Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices
with references to other text that the reader can immediately access.
Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are typically
activated by a mouse click, keypress set or by touching the screen. Rather
than remaining static like traditional text, hypertext makes possible a
dynamic organization of information through links and connections (called
hyperlink).
The World Wide Web (www) is a global
hypertext system of information residing on
servers linked across the internet.
HYPERTEXT

Hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web enabling users to click on
the link to obtain more information on a subsequent page on the same site or
from a website anywhere in the world.

The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1963.


HYPERTEXT

Hypertext allows readers to access information particularly suited to their


needs. For example, if a reader still needs more background on a particular
item that a text is discussing, such as when a reader does not know a
particular term being used, the reader can choose to highlight that term and
access a page that defines the term and describes it.

Conversely, a 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.
Most web browsers display the URL of a web
page above the page in an address bar. A typical
URL has this form:

http://www.example.com/index.html

protocol Host name File name


Today, links are not just limited to text or
documents but may also incorporate other forms
of multimedia such as pictures, sounds and
videos that stimulate more senses. This is called
hypermedia.
WHY
HYPERTEXT?
• In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate information by
exploring the connections provided.
• Hypertext is a 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.
HYPERTEXT acts as a bridge between two
basic, opposite, and complementing elements
that may be called gender of knowledge

Hypertext (semiotics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

alludes, derives from, or relates to an earlier work or hypotext.[1] For example,


James Joyce's Ulysses could be regarded as one of the many hypertexts deriving
from Homer's Odyssey; Angela Carter's "The Tiger's Bride" can be considered a
hypertext which relates to an earlier work, or hypotext, the original fairy-story
Beauty and the Beast. Hypertexts may take a variety of forms including
imitation, parody, and pastiche.
Highlighted Words/Phrase What is it?/Define/Describe
INTERTEXT or INTEXTUALITY is one
method of text development that enables the
author to make another text based on another
text.
INTERTEXT or INTEXTUALITY happens when some
properties of an original text are incorporated in the text
that is created by another author. One good reason why
it occurs is perhaps the second writer is greatly affected
or influenced by the first writer leading to a combination
of imitation and creation.
