USING CONTEXT IN TEXT DEVELOPMENT

In the previous lesson you have learned that in exploring a text, it is important that you
understand what you are reading to get the message of the text, for you to develop the skill in
verifying issues, affirming one’s values or even make a decision if necessary.
Critical reading also means that you are able to distinguish the information that is clearly stated
(explicit) in the text from ideas that are suggested (implicit). This will help you make inferences
about what you read and challenges you to give reactions. Knowing how to identify explicit and
implicit information will help you in developing one of the most important skills needed in critical
reading: evaluating the claims made by an author. This involves going back to the text to
recognize the writer’s arguments and evidence so that you can begin judging the writer’s work.
Intertext is putting a text in relation to another text, usually through direct quotes or references.
A book that quotes another book to compare, contrast, or expand on a point is using intertext.
Hypertext by it’s nature is purely a computer construct. It’s a way of providing clickable links to
other sections of a document, or other documents on the internet. It’s the basis of what we know
of as the world wide web, but it started it’s life as more basic links within a document - for
example clicking on a line in the table of contents would take you to that chapter. It even pre-
dates WYSIWIG and mouse driven interfaces.

A. HYPERTEXT
What is Hypertext? It is simply a non-linear way of presenting information, rather than
the traditional linear process of reading from beginning to end. Readers of hypertext may
follow their own path , create their own order- their own meaning out of the materials that
connect topics on a screen to related information, graphics, videos, and music- the
information is not simply related to text. How can you identify hypertext? This information
appears as links and is usually accessed by clicking and shifting to different web pages
in a matter of seconds and minutes. The reader can navigate around the internet and
jump to more information about a topic, which in turn may have more links,that open up
the reader to a wider horizon of information or to a new directions.
B. INTER TEXT
What is Intertextuality? It is the interconnection between similar or related works of
literature in terms of language, images, characters, themes, or subjects depending on
their similarities in language, genre, or discourse, that reflects and influences an
audience’s interpretation of the text. Intertextuality is the relation between texts that are
inflicted by means of quotations and allusion.

Example:
1. Tailor Swift’s song “ Love Story” makes intertextuality references to Romeo and Juliet and the
“ Scarlet Letter”: “ Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter and my daddy said stay away
from Juliet.
2. Another example of Intertextuality is also seen in the local legend of folk hero Bernardo
Carpio. Many versions of his tale exist, but local folklore says he is a giant who is the cause of
earthquakes. In Greek mythology, there is also Poseidon, who is the god of the sea and
earthquakes. Many cultures also attribute natural disasters to legendary figures.
