Context, Intertext

and Hypertext
Context
It is the social, cultural, political or historical
background of a text.
To understand the context of a text, you may use
the following guide points.
1. The time or period the text was written.
2. What circumstances produced the text
3. Issues the text tackled or discussed.
Intertextuality or intertext
• 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 or intertext
• It 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 produces his
version of the text consciously or unconsciously
incorporating the style and other characteristics
of the text done by that author.
Four specific methods

• Retelling,
• Pastiche,
• Quotation,
• and Allusion
Hypertext
• It is a non-linear way to present information and
is usually accomplished using “links”.
• These 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.
• It also allows the readers to create their meaning
out of the material given to them and learn
better associatively.
Hypertext
• It 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.
Hypertext
• It 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.
