Being considered as the realization of Roland Barthes's "Ideal text," the hypertext gives its readers extended space to adventure as far as their eyes can reach and the absolute power to rewrite the text. For we readers in the so-called "Late Age of Print," we could choose either to be lost in this hyper-maze, or just to use our right of the reader-as-writer. (powerpoint)

48. Chang, Andy (E) "Romanization in Taiwan." Romanization is a necessity for non-Roman-alphabet-language countries to facilitate a better communication between non-Roman language countries and other countries, to make foreigners either to understand transliteration of names, or even to pronounce the character. Recently, Tong yong pin yin (³q¥Î«÷­µ) and Han yu pin yin (º~»y«÷­µ) are the two choices that Taiwan has to choose as its official romanization system. Comparing these two systems, I find out that Hanyu Pinyin has more advantages than Tongyong Pinyin. Hanyu Pinyin is not only more familiar and more internationally used in the world, but it also is more accurate in its structure of conversion, and has more sources, which use it as their transliteration system, such as textbooks or dictionaries, than Tong yong Pin yin. Therefore I strongly recommend Hanyu Pinyin to become Taiwan's official romanization system. (PowerPoint)
