چکیده

ost modern computer systems share a foundation which is built of directories containing files. The files consist of text which is composed of characters. The text that is stored within this hierarchy is linear. For much of our current way of doing business, this linear organization is sufficicnt. Howcvcr, for morcand moreapplications, a linear organization is not adequate. For example, the documentation of a computer program* is usually either squcczcd into the margins of the program, in which case it is generally too terse to be useful, or it is interleaved with the text of the program, a practice which breaks up the flow of both program and documentation. As workstations grow cheaper, more powerful, and more available, new possibilities emerge for extending the traditional notion of “flat” text files by allowing more complex organizations of the material. Mechanisms are being devised which allow direct machinesupported references from one textual Hypertext systems feature machinesupported links-both within and between documents-that open exciting new possibilities for u!Gng the computer as a communication and thinking tool. design issues that go into fashioning a hypertext environment.

Coherence in text and hypertext

The concept of text coherence was developed for linear text, i.e. text of sequentially organized content. The present article addresses to what extent this concept can be applied to hypertext. Following the introduction (section 1), I will define different aspects of text coherence (section 2). I will then explain the importance of the sequential order of text constituents for coherence-buildin...
