2. Hypertext & Intertext
What is hypertext?
Hypertext is simply a non-linear way of presenting
information. Rather than reading or learning
about things in the order that an author, or editor,
or publisher sets out for us, readers of hypertext
may follow their own path, create their own
order-- their own meaning out of the material.

3. Hypertext & Intertext
What is hypertext?
This is accomplished by creating "links" between
information. These links are provided so that
readers may "jump" to further information about
a specific topic being discussed (which may
have more links, leading each reader off into a
different direction).

6. Hypertext & Intertext
Why use hypertext?
Because in general, humans learn better
associatively. That is, we are better able
to figure out material if we are allowed
to move at our own pace, investigating
that which interests us, and stimulating
more senses through multimedia.

What is intertextuality?
Intertextuality is the shaping of a
text meaning by another text.

8. Hypertext & Intertext
What is intertextuality?
Intertextuality is a literary device that creates
an 'interrelationship between texts' and
generates related understanding in separate
works ("Intertextuality", 2015). These references
are made to influence the reader and add
layers of depth to a text, based on the
readers' prior knowledge and understanding.

9. Hypertext & Intertext
What is intertextuality?
Intertextuality is a literary discourse strategy
(Gadavanij, n.d.) utilised by writers in novels,
poetry, theatre and even in non-written texts (such
as performances and digital media). Examples of
intertextuality are an author's borrowing and
transformation of a prior text, and a reader's
referencing of one text in reading another.
