口述·读写·超文本——谈语言与感知方式关系的演变

Orality, Literacy and Hypertext——Evolution of the Relation Between Language and Perception

人类个体和群体认识世界和传递知识经历一个由口述进入读写的过程.自上世纪末因技术化的原因开始进入电子时代,即超文本时代.本文对在感知方式上基于听觉的口述和基于视觉的读写的各自特征进行比较,并指出技术化在感知上的实质是触觉,这是构成超文本方式的一个基础.

The way of humans, whether individual or social, to perceive the world and pass on knowledge has undergone a process from orality to literacy. Beginning from the end of the last century, humans, due to technologization, have advanced onto the age of electronic culture, or hypertext culture. The paper makes a contrast of characteristics between orality based on audibility and literacy based on sight, and further points out technologization actually results from touch, which is one of the basis of the formation of hypertext culture.
