lexia
Dried Malaga grape
Lexia refers to a unit of reading or a discrete segment of text, particularly in hypertext theory where it describes a block of text that functions as a single node, linked to other nodes.
The term gained currency through literary theorist Roland Barthes, who used it to describe reading units of varying length.
In educational contexts, Lexia is also a brand name for reading intervention software.
The hypertext novel consisted of hundreds of lexias connected by associative links.
