Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text. It is the


interconnection between similar or related works of literature that reflect and
influence an audience's interpretation of the text. Intertextual figures include: allusion,
quotation, calque, plagiarism, translation, pastiche and pardy. Intertextuality is a
literary device that creates an 'interrelationship between texts' and generates related
understanding in separate works. These references are made to influence the reader
and add layers of depth to a text, based on the readers' prior knowledge and
understanding. Intertextuality is a literary discourse strategy utilised by writers in
novels, poetry, theatre and even in non-written texts (such as performances and
digital media). Examples of intertextuality are an author's borrowing and
transformation of a prior text, and a reader's referencing of one text in reading
another.

 Allusion - is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from


unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience
to make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly
stated (as opposed to indirectly implied) by the author, it is instead usually
termed a reference. In the arts, a literary allusion puts the alluded text in a
new context under which it assumes new meanings and denotations. It is
not possible to predetermine the nature of all the new meanings and inter-
textual patterns that an allusion will generate. Literary allusion is closely
related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices.
 Qoutation - is the repetition of one expression as part of another one,
particularly when the quoted expression is well-known or explicitly attributed
by citation to its original source, and it is indicated by (punctuated with)
quotation marks.
 Calque - In linguistics, a calque /kælk/ or loan translation is a word or phrase
borrowed from another language by literal, word-for-word or root-for-root
translation. Used as a verb, "to calque" means to borrow a word or phrase
from another language while translating its components, so as to create a
new lexeme in the target language.
 Plagiarism - is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of
another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the
representation of them as one's own original work.
- Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of
journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension,
and even expulsion from school or work. Recently, cases of "extreme
plagiarism" have been identified in academia. The modern concept of
plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the
18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.
 Translation - is the communication of the meaning of a source-language
text by means of an equivalent target-language text. The English language
draws a terminological distinction (not all languages do) between translating
(a written text) and interpreting (oral or sign-language communication
between users of different languages); under this distinction, translation can
begin only after the appearance of writing within a language community.
 Pastiche - is a work of visual art, literature, theatre, or music that imitates
the style or character of the work of one or more other artists.[1] Unlike
parody, pastiche celebrates, rather than mocks, the work it imitates.
 Parody - also called a spoof, send-up, take-off, lampoon, play on
(something), caricature, or joke is a work created to imitate, make fun of, or
comment on an original work—its subject, author, style, or some other target
—by means of satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda
Hutcheon puts it, "parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the
parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural
practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another
cultural production or practice. Parody may be found in art or culture,
including literature, music (although "parody" in music has an earlier,
somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming,
and film.

Hypertext - a software system that links topics on the screen to related information
and graphics, which are typically accessed by a point-and-click method.

- is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with


references (hyperlinks) 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. Apart from text, the term
"hypertext" is also sometimes used to describe tables, images, and other
presentational content formats with integrated hyperlinks. Hypertext is one of the key
underlying concepts of the World Wide Web, where Web pages are often written in
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). As implemented on the Web, hypertext
enables the easy-to-use publication of information over the Internet.

Critical Reading - Critical reading is a more ACTIVE way of reading. It is a deeper


and more complex engagement with a text. Critical reading is a process of analyzing,
interpreting and, sometimes, evaluating. When we read critically, we use our critical
thinking skills to QUESTION both the text and our own reading of it.

 Critical Reading as Reasoning - critically by relying on reasons rather than


emotions or popular opinions.
• Identify task and opinion
• Identifying assumptions
• Formulating claims and counter claims

Formulating Claims

1. A claim of fact attempts to prove the truth and /or existence of an idea or
conditions.
2. Helps explain and classify past, current and future events.
3. Requires reliable evidence that are accurate and recent, and are written by
experts.
Counter Claims - a claim made to rebut a previous claim.
