Reading and Writing Skills: Quarter 3 - Module 4 Text and Context Connections

The document discusses hypertext and how it differs from linear text. Hypertext allows for non-linear reading by creating links between pieces of information that allow readers to jump between topics. This gives readers more flexibility to determine their own path and order of reading rather than following a predefined structure. Hypertext includes multimedia elements like pictures, videos and audio in the links. It also describes how hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web by enabling links between web pages.

Learning Competency 4: Identify the context in which a text was


developed
a) Hypertext

Lesson Text and Context Connections :

4 Contexts of Written Texts

What’s New

Being a critical reader also involves understanding that texts are always
developed with a certain context. A text is neither written nor read in a vacuum; its
meaning and interpretation are affected by a given set of circumstances. Thus,
there is a need to identify the context of text development.

What I Need to Know

By the end of this lesson, you are expected to:


1. identify the context in which a text was developed
a) Hypertext
b) Intertext

To achieve the objectives of this module, do the following:

 Take yourtime reading the lessons carefully.


 Follow the directions and/or instructions in the activities and exercises
diligently.
 Answer all the given tests and exercises.
What I Know

Before heading on to our lesson, let us first check what you already know.
Read the statements carefully, and determine what is being referred to, then
write your answers on the blanks provided before each number.

____________________1. This creates a network of materials linked because of


various connections.
____________________2. It is the complex interrelationship between a text and
other texts.
____________________3. This refers to the occasion or situation that informs the
reader about why a document was written and how it was written.

____________________4. This is the modeling of a text’s meaning by another text.


____________________5. It is a non-linear way of presenting information.

Great job! Later we will see if your answers are correct by reading the
rest ofthis module… but before that….

Can you think of the differences between these two ways in identifying the
context of text development? Try to fill this table with your ideas.

4.1
Context

What’s New

What is CONTEXT?
 Context is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and other
related circumstances that surround the texts and form the terms from
which it can be better understood and evaluated.
 It also refers to the occasion or situation that informs the reader about
why a document was written.
 Context, according to Moxley, refers to the occasion, or situation that
informs the reader about why a document was written and how it was
written. The structure, organization and purpose of a written text is
heavily influenced by its context.
The way writers shape their texts is dramatically influenced by their CONTEXT.
Writers decide how to shape their sentences by considering their contexts.

Context is important as a foundation for the author in constructing his/her


written text. This includes how the writer has researched the topic and how he/she
organized the content.

Moxley posed the following questions on the analysis of context:


1. What is going on in the world of readers that will influence the
reader’s thoughts and feelings about the document?
2. Does the intellectual content of the document rest on the
shoulders of other authors? Will readers expect the author to mention
particular scholars or researchers who did the original, ground-breaking work
on the subject you are exploring?
3. What background information can you assume your reader is
already familiar with?

What I Have Learned

• Context refers to the occasion, or situation that informs the reader about why a
document was written and how it was written.
• The way writers shape their texts is dramatically influenced by their context.

Activity 3: Read the following essay and identify the context with which the
text was written by answering the questions that follow.

DIGITAL BAYANIHAN AMID COVID-19


Experts all over the world believe that to mitigate the effects and end the spread of
the Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), all sectors of the society must work
hand in hand to fight the deadly virus.
It is not the sole responsibility of the government to stop the global pandemic, and
it is imperative for people to join in the efforts and collectively stop the virus from
further infecting anyone.
This rings true in the Philippines, where the spirit of bayanihan is slowly being
revived amid the onslaught of natural and man-made catastrophes that struck the
whole country during the first three months of 2020.
Various non-government organizations and even individuals have started calling
on Filipinos to help in the war against the pandemic, whether it’s through
volunteerism or through monetary donations.
Donations drives have been launched by various groups to help protect frontline
healthcare workers from the virus. These came amid the reported scarcity of
personal protective equipment (PPEs) in hospitals.
Likewise, groups and individuals are seeking support to fund relief goods for the
families that are in need of food and personal hygiene kits, as major cities and
provinces and provinces impose in their own community quarantine protocols.
There are hundreds of more donations drives that are hundreds of more donations
that are happening across the Philippines today, signaling the strong revival of the
Filipino culture of Bayanihan—only that with the strict implementation of community
quarantines and social distancing protocols, donations are facilitated through
mobile phones.

Lesson Text and Context Connections:

Hypertext

What’s New

Typically, a text is written in a linear fashion. This linear progression only


enables the reader to read the material the way the author designed it from the
beginning to end. HYPERTEXTUALITY allows readers to study a text in a
different manner.
In a hypertext, pieces of information are connected semantically. There is an
undefined beginning, middle and end.
Hypertext creates a network of materials linked because of various connections
they share. This encourages and, at times, requires readers to go through the
material at their pace.

Hypertextuality according to Amaral, 2010 is simply a non-linear way of


presenting information. Rather than reading or learning about things in the order
that an author, or editor, or publisher sets out for us, readers of hypertext may
follow their own path, create their own order – their own meaning out the material.
This is accomplished by creating ―links‖ between information. These links are
provided so that the readers may ―jump‖ to further information about a specific
topic being discussed (which may have more links, leading each reader off into a
different direction).

Instead of reading or learning about things in the order predefined by an


author, an editor or a publisher, the readers of a hypertext can follow their own
path, create their own order – their own meaning out of the material.

Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts. The term was coined by
Ted Nelson around 1965. It is when you type a word and attach a link to that word
so that upon clicking on that word, the reader is sent to the site attached.

Hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web enabling users to click

on link to obtain more information on a subsequent page on the same site or from

website anywhere in the world.

Hypertext materials include pictures, video materials animated and audio


illustrations. All those possibilities make hypertext materials content high and
suitable for educational purposes.

Hypertext connects topic on a screen to related information, graphics, videos,


and music – information is not simply related to text.

This information appears as links and is usually accessed by clicking. The


reader can jump to more information about a topic, which in turn may have more
links. This opens up the reader wider horizon of information to a new direction.

A reader can skim through sections of a text, freely jumping from one part to
another depending on what aspect of the text interests him/her. Thus, in reading
with hypertext, you are given more flexibility and personalization because you get
to select the order in which you read the text and focus on information that is
relevant to your background and interests.

Take a look at this example:

Every time you search on the web, you see words or clusters of words that are
underlined and are in blue. When you click these words, you will be transported to
another site.

Hypertext is a new way of reading a text online. It collects every available data but
this exhaustive inclusion exposes the reader to a wealth of irrelevant material.
While intertextuality banks on its text-generated constraints on the reader’s
perceptions, hypertextuality is a reader-generated loose web of free association.

Information directly/indirectly related to the topic written may be referenced through


hyperlinks in which the reader can access the direct source or reference through a
single click.

Hypertextuality, although opens up to a wide variety of mostly irrelevant


information, gives the reader the free will to personalize his or her analysis of the
text. The reader may choose to focus only on the information that is related to
his/her background, thus creating a personal meaning out of the given material.
What is it?

Activity 4: Try to research the about a word that you were curious about. You
can start with WIKEPEDIA, then click on the hyperlinks on the article and see
what sites the hyperlinks sent you. List the sites that you were able to
explore.

4.3 Intertext
What’s New ,

When reading, the readers try to make meaning of the material that they
are absorbing through many different processes. Unintentionally, sometimes, the
patterns in the materials read are apparent in another text. Theorists term this as
intertextuality.

Intertextuality, is also the modelling of a text’s meaning by another text.


It is defined as the connections between language, images, characters, themes,
or subjects depending on their similarities in language, genre and discourse.
Intertextuality, as defined by Tiongson (2016), is the modeling of a text’s meaning
by another text. Intertext is the relationship between texts and how culture and
other writers influence a text. This is often seen on works wherein the author
borrows and transforms an existing text or when one references a text on his own
written work. The text will then contain a wide accumulation of cultural, historical
and social knowledge.

Intertextuality, as a literary device, ―is the complex interrelationship between a


text and other texts taken as fundamental to the creation and interpretation of the
text‖ (Merriam Webster Disctionary, 2015).

Intertext excludes irrelevant data. It underscores the main point/s of the text
by making explicit those data that are only implied or presupposed in the text, thus
defining their relevance. Spurred by this context, a healthy dialogue among
different texts and interpretations, audience, is born.

As readers, the ability to create connections among various texts enhances


the meaning of the reading material.

Let us see if you can see the connections between these two literary works:

the Rings Trilogy? If so, can you discuss what their similarities are?

What I Have Learned

 Context is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and other related
circumstances that surround the text.
 Hypertext is a non-linear way of presenting information. Instead of reading or
learning about things in the order predefined by an author, an editor or a

 Intertext on the other hand, is defined as the connections between language,
images, characters, themes, or subjects depending on their similarities in
language, genre or discourse.
