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.
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.

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.
