• Hypertext


  is text displayed on a computer display or other electronic devices with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access. It documents are interconnected by hyperlinks, which are typically activated by a mouse click, keypress set, or screen touch.
• Hypertext is used in a variety of applications, including Wikipedia articles, blog posts, interactive ebooks, online news articles, HTML web pages, interactive tutorials, online shopping websites, social media posts, emails, and interactive maps.
• Hypertext is a concept proposed by Vannevar Bush, the head of the Office of Scientific Reseach and Development during World War II, through a method of cataloguing and retrieving information prophetically.
• Dough Engelbart was the first to be influenced by Bush’s concepts of associative links and browsing in the early 1960s.
• Dough Engelbart


  To make viewing easier and increase user speed, he developed the “mouse” and viewing filters.
• But it was Ted Nelson who create the term “hypertext”.
• Intertextuality


  is technically defined as a process of text development that merges two more processes such as imitation and creation in doing a text. It involves imitation because the author, as highly influenced by another author comes up with his version of the text consciously or unconsciously incorporating the style and other characteristics of the text done by that author.
• Devices used to create Intertextuality

  1. Quotations
  2. Allusion
  3. Plagiarism
  4. Translation
  5. Parody
  6. Adaptation
• Quotations


  are a very direct form of reference and are taken directly ‘as is’ from the original text. Often cited in academic work, these are always obligatory or optional.
• Allusion


  is a reference to a well-known person, character, place, or event that a writer makes to deepen the reader’s understanding of their work.
• Plagiarism


   is the direct copying or paraphrasing of another text. This is generally more of a literary fault than a device though.
•  Translation


  is the conversion of text written in one language into another language while retaining the original’s intent, meaning, and tone. This is usually an example of optional intertextuality. For example, you do not need to understand French to read the English translation of an Emile Zola novel.
• Parody

  When one piece of writing uses many of the same elements of another but does it in a new and funny way.

  It may copy the setting, plot, characters, or other parts of the original work.
• Adaptation


  A film, TV drama, or a stage play that is based  on a written work.

  For example, JK Rowling’s  Harry Potter series has a film adaptation.
