Abstract
This paper explores the concept of electronic/digital literature, a relatively new term in Persian-speaking contexts. By examining its core characteristics, including interactivity, multimedia, computational dependence, and nonlinearity, the paper aims to provide a clear definition. Moreover, it proposes "codabiat" as an alternative translation for "electronic literature", arguing that this term more accurately reflects the concept's unique features and interdisciplinary nature in persian.
