超链接文本中的连贯

连贯理论一直以来针对的是线性文本,本文试图运用语用学的连贯理论,从交际者共享知识的角度描写超链接文本中的连贯。超链接文本最基本的要素是文本路径,它可分为预先定义路径和自选路径。本文分别阐述了由这两种路径构成的超链接文本的连贯。论文尝试指出,从语用上来说,超链接文本中的连贯与普通线性文本一样,是建立在作者与读者共同遵守的语篇组织模式和运用世界知识的推理之上。人们具有的世界知识和推理能力,对理解超链接文本的连贯起重要作用。

Coherence in Hypertext

Coherence theory aims at the interpretation of linear text. This paper seeks to discuss the coherence in hypertext from the perspective of pragmatics. Path, which is the basic element of constructing a hypertext, can be classified into two types: self-selected path and pre-defined path. After analyzing the coherence in the two types of hypertext, it is concluded that coherence in hypertext is also based on the shared sequencing patterns of text organization and the inference drawn from world knowledge between readers and writers, which is quite similar to the linear text. People's world knowledge and inference abilities play a vital role in understanding the coherence of any hypertext.
