8 Hypertext and Intertext

Hypertext is a non-linear method of presenting information through links that allow readers to navigate and create their own understanding of the material. It is integral to the World Wide Web, where interconnected documents can include multimedia elements, referred to as hypermedia. Intertextuality, on the other hand, involves the development of new texts influenced by existing ones, utilizing methods such as retelling, pastiche, quotation, and allusion.

Hypertext and Intertext

Hypertext is a non-linear way to


present information and is usually
Hypertex accomplished using “links”. Such links
help the readers navigate further
t 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 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
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.
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 pictures,
sounds and videos that stimulate more
senses. This is called hypermedia.
Intertextuality or intertext is one
Intertext 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
Intertext Defined

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
version of the text consciously or unconsciously
incorporating the style
and other characteristics of the text done by that
author.
Elaboration on Intertextuality

Intertextuality is said to take place using four specific


methods namely: retelling, pastiche, quotation, and
allusion.
What I Can Do

Imagine yourself as a writer. Write a one-paragraph


story (three-four sentences) using intertext as the
mode of text development. Include a reference such as
a word, phrase, concept, quotation of another work in
your text.
