A method and system for navigation of text are provided. A linear text ( 110 ) in electronic form is selected. The system includes a display ( 131 ) of a plurality of phrases representing the content of the text ( 110 ) with means for emphasizing a displayed phrase to indicate the relevance of the phrase in a predefined portion of the text ( 110 ). For example, the emphasizing may be by size or color of the representation of the phrase in the display ( 131 ). The display ( 131 ) of phrases is animated ( 123 ) to show changes in the emphasizing during progression through the linear text ( 110 ). When a phrase is present in the display ( 131 ) of phrases, the phrase is kept in the same position in the display ( 131 ) during the animation. If phrases are added to and removed from the display ( 131 ) during progression through the text ( 110 ), then the method includes minimizing discontinuity of the animation.
