Quarter 2:Lesson 3

In discovering a text’s context,
you may ask questions like:

When was the work written?

What were the circumstances


that produced it?

What issues deal with it?


Key terms
1. Context – is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical
and other related circumstances that surround the text and
from the terms it can be better understood and evaluated.

-the situation within which something exists or happens

2. Text Development – the way of the writer to develop the text

-the writing strategy of the author to deliver the ideas


comprehensively
I.Hypertext is a nonlinear way of
presenting and organizing information by
creating links between the text so that
readers would be able to access other
texts with more information about a given
topic.
Example:
Hyperlinks - are words, phrases or
even media which is a digital reference
to data that the user can follow or be
guided by clicking or tapping.
It points to a whole document or to a
specific element within a document.
Did you
know?...
that hypertexts have been
around since the 1960’s?
Apple Computer’s Hypercard
program used hypertext
which allowed users to create
multi-linked databases.

Readers may access the web pages that


contain interrelated texts upon clicking

words, phrases or images.
Why use hypertext?
Because in general,
humans learn
associatively.
Hyperreading – the ways to read
in which the reader will decide
where to look and how (or
whether) to read particular
aspects of the text (Hasset, 2012).
-many ways to read
-many interpretations
- many pathways to follow

II. Intertextuality refers to the
12

interconnectedness of text with


other text, and how relating them
to each other affects their
respective meanings.

It can be described as a chain-like


model that provides linkages from
a text to another.
13

❖ Julia Kristeva- a French


semiotician in the 1960’s
created the definition of
intertextualiy from the Latin
word “intertexto”, which
,means “to intermingle while
weaving”.
Why intertextuality?
Intertextuality shows how
much a culture can influence
its authors, even as the
authors in turn influence the
culture.
Forms of Intertext
1. Retelling – An author restates the general
idea or thought of the other text through
paraphrasing and narrating.
2. Allusion – This method is an indirect
reference to another text and does not
explicitly connect nor cite the other text. The
writer leaves it to the reader to make the
connection themselves using their own stock
knowledge about the topic.
Forms of Intertext
3. Quotation – It is a commonly used method
of copy-pasting the exact select words of a
given passage from another text and placing
them in-between quotation marks. The source
and author is also cited.
4. Pastiche – It is an imitation of a style,
features, or aspect of an existing written text
without mocking or making fun of it.
Forms of Intertext
5. Claque – It is borrowing words or phrases
from one language to another by translating
the words without changing their position in a
phrase or sentence.
6. Translation – translating the language of an
existing text makes it significant and popular
in various cultural contexts.
E.g. “Our Father” to Latin, German, Filipino.
Hypotext, in literature, is an earlier literary 18

work that becomes the source of the


concurrent works of literature.
E.g. Noli Me Tangere ---El Filibusterismo
Summary
19

Hypertext and intertext are the two


kinds of context of text development. The
texts we read critically may have been
developed either hypertextually or
intertextually. These contexts help to
identify a text or author’s viewpoints,
argument, evidences, potential biases and
conclusions.
