Linear and
Non-Linear Text
Linear Text
Linear text refers to traditional
text that needs to be read from
beginning to the end to be fully
understood. This type of text
has an order or sequence.
Linear Text

Novels,
Poems,
Short stories,
Letters,
Educational texts,
and all those texts we read from the beginning
to the end.
Non-Linear Text

Non-linear text is non-

sequential which means that the
readers do not have to go
through the text in a sequential
manner in order to make sense
of the text.
EXAMPLES OF LINEAR TEXT

1. Novels - It is an invented prose narrative that is usually long and complex and deals especially with human
experience through a usually connected sequence of events .
EXAMPLE:
2. Poems - It is a composition in verse.
EXAMPLE:
3. Short Stories - An invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and
aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot.
EXAMPLE:
4. Educational texts
– An analytic or interpretative literary composition usually dealing with its subject from a limited or
personal point of view.
– a nonfictional prose composition usually forming an independent part of a publication.

TRANSCODING
To transcode a linear text to a non linear text, one may follow these steps;
Step 1:
Read and understand the source text to get its main or central ideas.
Step 2:
Extract important details to be included in the visual presentation.
Step 3:
Remember to use words or phrases only.
Step 4:
To be organized, classify information into categories
Step 5:
Make sure to use the appropriate non linear text to presenting your information
Transcoding information from linear to non-linear texts and vice-versa:
To transcode means to transform something from one form to another. In order to transcode a
linear to a nonlinear text or the other way around, one must first be able to fully understand
what the source text is about. This way, deciding on the proper text type to be used in the
transcoding process will be easier.
