Context

Context is understanding the


background of the text including cultural
background, social background, historical
and political background.
1. It pertains to the time or period the
text was written.
2. What circumstances produced the
text.
Intertext

Intertextuality or intertext is one method of text


development that enables the author to make another 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. 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.
It also shows the connections among texts in terms of
language, images, characters, themes, or subject/topic.
Hypertext
is a non-linear way to present information
and is usually accomplished using “links”.
Such links help the readers navigate further
information about the topic being discussed
and may also lead to other links that can
direct the readers to various options.
Hypertext also allows the readers to create
their meaning out of the material given to
them and learn better associatively.
Hypertext is text displayed on a computer display
or other electronic devices with references to
other text that the reader can immediately access.
Hypertext documents are interconnected by
hyperlinks, which are typically activated by a
mouse click, keypress set or by touching the
screen. Rather than remaining static like
traditional text, hypertext makes possible a
dynamic organization of information through links
and connections (called hyperlink).
The World Wide Web (www) is a global hypertext
system of information residing on servers linked
across the internet. Hypertext is the foundation of
the World Wide Web enabling users to click on the
link to obtain more information on a subsequent
page on the same site or from a website anywhere
in the world. The term hypertext was coined by
Ted Nelson in 1963. Hypertext allows readers to
access information particularly suited to their
needs. For example, if a reader still needs more
background on a particular item that a text is
discussing, such as when a reader does not know a
particular term being used, the reader can choose
to highlight that term and access a page that
defines the term and describes it.
Conversely, a Uniform Resource Locator
(URL), colloquially termed a web address, is
a reference to a web resource that specifies
its location on a computer network and a
mechanism for retrieving it. URLs occur
most commonly to reference web pages
(http), but are also used for file transfer
(ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC),
and many other applications.
