Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
narrative.syntagmas

Where an autonomous segment is not descriptive (i.e., does not narrate story event) and is chronologically consistent, then Metz assigns these the category of narrative syntagma. The narrative syntagma may be one of two possible forms: it may encompass a single progressive series of story events (this, then this, then this . . .) or it may intercut two or more series of progressive story events (this, meanwhile this, meanwhile this . . .). The single linear model in turn is subdivided by Metz, while the intercut series, what is commonly known as parallel montage, becomes a discrete category.
