CONTEXT
Context is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and
other related circumstances that surround the texts and form the
terms from which it can be better understood and evaluated.
Context, according to Moxley, refers to the occasion, or situation
that informs the reader about why a document was written and how
it was written.
The structure, organization and purpose of a written text is heavily
influenced by its context.

1. HYPERTEXT
Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts. The
term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965.
Hypertext is the foundation of the World Wide Web
enabling users to click on link to obtain more information
on a subsequent page on the same site or from website
anywhere in the world.
Hypertext, according to Amaral (2010), is simply a non-
linear way of presenting information.

2. INTERTEXT
Intertextuality, is the modelling of a text’s meaning by another
text.
It is the complex interrelationship between texts and how culture
and other writers influence a text.
This is often seen on works wherein the author borrows and
transforms an existing text or when one references a text on his
own written work. The text will then contain a wide accumulation
of cultural, historical and social knowledge
