3. Intertextuality or intertext is one method of text development that enables the author to make 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.

4. 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.

5. Example: 1. Taylor 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.

6. COMMON CONCEPTS OF INTERTEXTUALITY

7. Allusion An indirect reference on something or someone from classic or famous literature.

16. Importance of intertext It leads readers to a much richer experience of reading. It provides new interpretations as it brings into the text another meaning, concept or story. It shows the connections and the continuity of texts and of cultures. It also allows us to recall earlier texts to gain new insights and meanings relevant to the present time.
