Linking While Writing — Do You or Don't You?

Jan W. Broer

Abstract

Linking while writing technical prose is a predominantly logical activity which creates clearly comprehensible relations of meaning between text elements. Some systematics based on sign theory is brought into the great variety of pathologic links. A few cases histories of what may be called monopodes, squinters, fadeouts, hoodwinkers, posers, and antiposers are described, together with their therapeutics. The tool for diagnostics is strategic text questioning.
