A pragmatics of links
Tosca, Susana Pajares·2000·Proceedings of the eleventh ACM on Hypertext and hypermedia
Abstract
This paper applies the linguistic theory of relevance to the study of the way links work, insisting on the lyrical quality of the link-interpreting activity. It is argued that such a pragmatic approach can help us understand hypertext readers´ behavior, and thus be useful for authors and tool-builders alike.
