mindmap root((TEXT)) textual Having to do with or based on a text.
🌱A textual analysis of 1,700 lipstick names, including Hot Mama and Raisin Hell, suggested to the author that the women buying them lack a healthy sense of self-worth. 🌳Before the invention of the printing press, books were produced by hand. When the text of a book is copied this way, textual errors can creep in, and a text that's been copied again and again can contain many such errors. By comparing different copies of a work, textual critics try to figure out where the copyists went wrong and restore the text to its original form so that modern readers can again enjoy the correct versions of ancient texts. When a class performs textual analysis of a poem, however, they are looking closely at its individual words and phrases in an effort to determine the poem's meanings. context 1、 The surrounding spoken or written material in which a word or remark occurs.
2、 The conditions or circumstances in which an event occurs; environment or setting.
🌱The governor claimed that his remarks were taken out of context and that anyone looking at the whole speech would get a different impression. 🌳Context reveals meaning. The context of an unfamiliar word can give us contextual clues to help us determine what the word means. Taking a remark out of context can change its meaning entirely. Likewise, people's actions sometimes have to be understood as having occurred in a particular context. The behavior of historical figures should be seen in the context of their time, when standards may have been very different from our own. hypertext A database format in which information related to that on a display screen can be accessed directly from the screen （as by a mouse click）.
🌱Three days ago my mother was asking me why some of the words are underlined in blue, but by yesterday she was already an expert in hypertext. 🌳Since hyper- generally means "above, beyond" （See HYPER,） hypertext is something that's gone beyond the limitations of ordinary text. Thus, unlike the text in a book, hypertext permits you, by clicking with a mouse, to immediately access text in one of millions of different electronic sources. Hypertext is now so familiar that most computer users may not even know the word, which was coined by Ted Nelson back in the early 1960s. It took a few more years for hypertext to actually be created, by Douglas Engelbart, and then quite a few more years before the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991. subtext The underlying meaning of a spoken or written passage.
🌱The tough and cynical tone of the story is contradicted by its romantic subtext. 🌳A literary text often has more than one meaning: the literal meaning of the words on the page, and their hidden meaning, what exists "between the lines"—the subtext. Arthur Miller's play The Crucible, for example, is about the Salem witchcraft trials of the 17th century, but its subtext is the comparison of those trials with the "witch hunts" of the 1950s, when many people were unfairly accused of being communists. Even a social conversation between a man and a woman may have a subtext, but you may have to listen very closely to figure out what it is. Don't confuse subtext with subplot, a less important plot that moves along in parallel with the main plot.
