LESSON 1
Hypertext and Intertext
ABOUT READING & WRITING Reading and writing does not only mean perceiving the world around us. The process of perceiving embodies the relationship of a text and another text. Likewise, it deals with reading from the viewpoint of a research question and actively using what you read to develop your own analysis and argumentation and eventually collect materials that you can use in your own writing. WHAT IS A Hypertext? is a non-linear way to present information and is usually accomplished using “links”. Such 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. THE WWW WHAT IS THE WORLD,WIDE,WEB is a global hypertext system of information residing on servers linked across the internet. The term hypertext was coined by Ted Nelson in 1963. HOW TO RETRIEVE A HYPERLINK? The USE OF “URL” Conversely, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. PARTS OF A HYPERLINK Intertext Intertextuality or intertext is 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 has its roots in the work of a Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913). Meanwhile, the term itself was first used by Bulgarian-French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva in the 1960s. Intertextuality is said to take place using four specific methods namely: retelling, pastiche, quotation, and allusion.
