A design procedure

The following steps will be distinguished on the basis of discussion in the preceding sections:

1. Specifying the model. The general model is selected, for instance a Jakobsonian model, augmented by speech act types, and the parameters of the general model are instantiated to provide a specific model in terms of the desired finished product.
2. Formulating the theory. The syntax of the model is specified at the different hierarchical and realisational levels. At the final stage, the theory is translated automatically or manually into an HTML hypertext structure.
3. Evaluating the theory relative to the model. The result is checked with the model specifications, both in terms of the formal specifications and in terms of subjective assessment of the result.
