Hypertext or
Hypertextuality
What is Hypertext?
 Hypertext is a non-linear way to present information and is usually accomplished using “links”.
Such links help the readers navigate further information about the topic being discussed and
may also lead to other links that can direct the readers to various options.
 Hypertext also allows the readers to create their own meaning out of the material given to
them and learn better associatively.
 Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with references to
other text that the reader can immediately access.
 Hypertext documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are typically activated by a
mouse click, keypress set, or by touching the screen. Rather than remaining static like
traditional text, hypertext makes a dynamic organization of information possible through links
and connections (called hyperlink).
 The World Wide Web (www) is a global hypertext system of information residing on servers
linked across the internet.
 Hypertext is the foundation of World Wide Web enabling users to click on link to obtain more
information on a subsequent page on the same site or from website anywhere in the world.
 The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1963.
 Hypertext allows readers to access information particularly suited to their needs. Example, if a
reader still needs more background on a particular item that a text is discussing, such as when
a reader does not know a particular term being used, the reader can choose to highlight that
term and access a page that defines the term and describes it.
 Conversely, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address, is a
reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a
mechanism for retrieving it. URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (http) but are
also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other
applications.
Most web browsers display the URL of a web page
above the page in an address bar. A typical URL has
this form:

Today, links are not just limited to text or documents but may also
incorporate other forms of multimedia such as images, audio, and
videos that stimulate more senses. This is called hypermedia.
Why hypertext?
 In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate information by exploring
the connections provided.
 Hypertext is very different way of presenting information than the usual
linear form.
 Text no longer flows in a straight line through a book. Instead, it is broken
down into many smaller units (lexias, to borrow a term from literary
criticism), each addressing a few issues.
 It acts as a bridge between two basic, opposite, and complementing
elements that may be called gender of knowledge representation: free and
shortcut.
Intertext or
Intertextuality
What is intertext?
 Intertextuality or intertext is one method of text development that enables the author to make
another text based on another text. It happens when some properties of an original text are
incorporated in the text that is created by another author. One good reason why it occurs is
perhaps the second writer is greatly affected or influenced by the first writer leading to a
combination of imitation and creation.
 Intertext or intertextuality is technically defined as a process of text development that merges
two more processes such as imitation and creation in doing a text. It involves imitation
because the author as highly influenced by another author comes up with his own version of
the text consciously or unconsciously incorporating the style and other characteristics of the
text done by that author.
Elaboration on Intertextuality
Intertextuality has rooted from the work of a Swiss linguist Ferdinand de
Saussure (1857-1913). Meanwhile, the term itself was first used by
Bulgarian-French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva in the 1960s.
Intertextuality is said to take place using four specific methods namely:
retelling, pastiche, quotation, and allusion.
Method Definition
Retelling It is the restatement of a story or re-expression of a
narrative.
Quotation It is the method of directly lifting the exact
statements or set of words from a text another
author has made.
Allusion In this method, a writer or speaker explicitly or
implicitly pertains to an idea or passage found in
another text without the use of quotation.

Pastiche It is a text developed in a way that it copies the style


or other properties of another text without making fun
of it unlike in a parody.
