At the end of this modules, you are expected to:
1. define hypertext and intertext;
2. differentiate hypertext and intertext; and
3. identify the context on which a text is
developed.
MELCS:
Identify the context on which a text is developed using hypertext and intertext.

Hypertext presents a new way to read on-line text that differs from reading standard linear text. Text is typically presented in a linear form, in which there is a single way to progress through the text, starting at the beginning and reading to the end.
The features in hypertext supply flexibility to the reader when compared to reading linear text such as books. Clearly some of this flexibility does exist in books (e.g. table of contents and indexes), but it is not as widely used or exploited.
Hypertext permits readers to use these features automatically rather than requiring readers to manually refer to them as needed. This provides additional control to the reader in determining the order that the text is to be read and allows the reader to read the text as if it were specifically tailored to the reader's background and interests.
This flexibility does promise an advantage of personalization and eases the burden of finding information.
In hypertext, information can be represented in a semantic network in which multiple related sections of the text are connected to each other. A user may then browse through the sections of the text, jumping from one text section to another. This permits a reader to choose a path through the text that will be most relevant to his or her interests (“Hypertext and Writing,” n.d.).

Pastiche
A literary work, then, is not simply the product of a single author, but of its relationship to other texts and to the structures of language itself. "[A]ny text," she argues, "is constructed of a mosaic of quotations; any text is the absorption and transformation of another” (“Intertextuality Examples and Definition” 2016).
Pastiche
It is a literary piece that imitates another famous literary work of another writer with the purpose of honoring it and not mocking it. It is lighthearted but respectful in its imitation.
Examples:
Bohemian Rhapsody
Allusion
• It is an indirect reference to somebody or something a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing, or idea of historical, cultural, literary, or political significance it does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers is just a passing comment and the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in a text.
Examples:
“ Don’t act like Romeo in front of her.”
"The rise in poverty will unlock the Pandora’s box of crimes."
Parody
It is an imitation of a particular writer, artist, or a genre, exaggerating it deliberately to produce a comic effect. The humorous effect in parody is achieved by imitating and overstressing noticeable features of a famous piece
of literature.

Calque
It is a loan translation, especially one resulting from bilingual interference in which the internal structure of a borrowed word or phrase is maintained but its morphemes are replaced by those of the native language
Examples:
Latin: agenda, index, memorandum
German: angst, blitz, bratwurst
French: accident, chef, fierce
Italian: concerto, pizza, scenario
Japanese: bonsai, haiku, karaoke
Two Dimensions of Intertextual Relations
1. Horizontal – relations that are between primary texts that are more or less explicitly linked
2. Vertical – relation between a primary text and other texts of a different type that refer to it (secondary and tertiary texts)
Secondary texts – e.g., publicity, journalistic features, criticism
Tertiary texts – produced by viewers themselves (e.g., letters, gossip, conversation)
Function of Intertextuality
Majority of the writers borrow ideas from the previous works to give a layer of meanings to their works. In fact, when readers read the new text with reflection of another literary work, all related assumptions, effects and ideas of other text provide them a different meaning and changes the technique of interpretation of the original piece.
Since readers take influence from other texts, and while reading new texts they
sift through archives, this device gives them relevance and clarifies their
understanding of the new texts. For writers, intertextuality allows them to open new perspectives and possibilities to construct their story. Thus, writers may explore a particular ideology in their narrative by discussing recent rhetoric in the original text.
