READING AND WRITING

SKILLS
Hypertext and
Intertext

LESSON 4
Learning
Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, you should be
able to:

1. Define hypertext and intertext.


2. Determine whether a concept uses
hypertext or intertextuality.
3. Adhere to the importance of hypertext
and intertext in daily lives.
Reading and writing does not only mean perceiving the world
around us. The process of perceiving embodies the relationship of a
text and another text. Likewise, it deals with reading from the
viewpoint of a research question and actively using what you read to
develop your own analysis and argumentation and eventually collect
materials that you can use in your own writing.
Reading and writing go beyond finding the linkage of the evidence
and corresponding texts and identifying and interpreting possible
uncertainties and flaws in the reasoning of the author. It also means
understanding that texts are always developed with a certain context,
thus its meaning and interpretation are affected by a given set of
circumstances. Moreover, reading now involves a relatively new way
of reading a text online as brought by the advent of the internet and
technology.
Hypertext
• is a nonlinear 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
Hypertext
• Hypertext is text displayed
on a computer display or
other electronic devices
with references to other
text that the reader can
immediately access.
Hypertext
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
possible a dynamic organization of information 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
Hypertext allows readers to access
information particularly suited to their needs.
For 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.
Hypertext
Links can be classified into different types, including:
a. Internal link: A link to another page or resource
within the same website.
b. External link: A link to a page or resource on a
different website.
c. Anchor link: A link to a specific section or anchor
within the same page.
d. Email link: A link that opens the user's email client to
send an email.

Example:

For example, you are doing research about the Philippine eagle.
A quick Google search would lead you to a Wikipedia article on
it. Information on it would include a picture and a brief, written
description. While reading about the Philippine eagle, you will
also encounter links to its conservation status. This may lead
you to more information about conservation efforts. However, if
you were interested in the appearance of the Philippine eagle
because you wanted to sketch it for your art class, the same
page would provide its physical description and even give you
links to pictures and videos of the Philippine eagle. Thus,
depending on your purpose and interests, the article on the
Philippine eagle could lead you to a variety of different, detailed
Example:
WHY HYPERTEXT?
1.In a hypertext system, the reader is free to navigate
information by exploring the connections provided.

2. Hypertext is very different way of presenting information


than the usual linear form.
WHY HYPERTEXT?
3. 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.

4. It acts as a bridge between two basic, opposite, and


complementing elements that may be called gender of knowledge
representation: free and shortcut.
APPLICATION OF HYPERTEXT
• WEB PAGES
• DIGITAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
• E-BOOK
• INTERACTIVE FICTION
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.
• 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
Intertext or intertextuality

• 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.
Example:

For example, intertextuality is seen in the local legend of


folk hero Bernardo Carpio. Many version s of this tale
exist, but local folklore says he is a giant who is the cause
of earthquakes. In Greek mythology, there is also
Poseidon, who is the god of sea and earthquakes. Many
cultures also attribute natural disasters to legendary
figures.
Intertextuality is said to take place using four specific
methods namely:

1. Retelling
2. Quotation
3. Allusion
4. Pastiche
1. Retelling - is the restatement of
a story or re-expression of a
narrative.
 Adaptation
 Borrowing from another text
 Reinterpretation
 Reimagining an existing text and
making it new
1. RETELLING
1. RETELLING
2. Quotation - is the method of
directly lifting the exact statements
or set of words from a text another
author has made.
3. 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.
Example:
He was lying so obviously, you
could almost see his nose
growing. He's asking her to the
prom. It's like a happy version of
Romeo and Juliet. His smile is like
kryptonite to me.
4. Pastiche - 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.
PURPOSE OF INTERTEXT
1. Creating meaning: Intertextuality can add layers of
meaning to a text by referencing other texts and cultural
touchstones.
2. Establishing context: Intertextuality can help establish
the historical, cultural, or social context of a text.
3. Subverting expectations: Intertextuality can be used to
subvert or challenge reader expectations and create new
meanings.
4. Paying homage: Intertextuality can be used to pay
homage to other authors, texts, or cultural influences.
