“Any text is constructed of
a mosaic of quotations;
any text is the absorption

text, multiple references to this would be
used.
Allusion

reference; an incidental mention of
something, either directly or by

visual art, literature, theatre, or
music that imitates the style or

senses of the word, as there are many distinct
styles imitated in the song.

Then, what do you think is
the weakness of
intertextuality?
!
Any text can be considered a
work of intertextuality because
it builds on the structures that
existed before it.

'Hypertext' is a recent coinage. 'Hyper-'
is used in the mathematical sense of
extension and generality (as in
'hyperspace,' 'hypercube') rather than
the medical sense of 'excessive'
('hyperactivity'). There is no
implication about size— a hypertext
could contain only 500 words or so.
'Hyper-' refers to structure and not size.
