Fundamentos culturais e lingüísticos do hipertexto visando ao estudo de reportagens online

Abstract

Modern science heirs, linguistics texts oblige their users to deal with them analytically, starting from the whole to the parts, or from the parts to the whole, in sequences, from right to left, from top to bottom, according to a discontinued linear process. Computing context presents us to another conception of knowledge oriented by authors such as Edgard Morin and Humberto Maturana, with implications on cultural logic which results in a new way of producing text: the hypertext. This article states the idea that, in the production of meaning, the structure, the interaction and organization patterns of computing means, are expressions of a new cultural environment, which demands topics to linguistics such as authorship and subject comprehension, which need to be revisited in the enunciation perspective towards computing environment. We point out hypertext as one of those topics wich entails a new textuality because it breaks the traditional standards of text study and its production conditions.
