processes another text
Intertextuality
• A literary device termed by theorists as “the complex
interrelationship between a text and other texts
taken as fundamental to the creation and
interpretation of the text”
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 2015).
• Ability to create connections among various texts
that enhances the meaning of the reading material
• Uses the reference of the full story in another text
or story as its backbone

JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Any questions,
so far? 
Hypertextuality
• Allows readers to study a text semantically
• Pieces of information are connected semantically
• There is an undefined beginning, middle, and end
- Department of Education, 2013
• 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.
Hypertext
• Allows readers to choose their way of reading the
text that speaks to them in the most logical
manner individually
• Removes the burden of making meaning from the
author to the reader
• Readers are given the chance to explore other
parts of the text or even ideas linked to the text
without being told how and what to read in a
step-by-step process
