What’s New
Activity 2: Think About It
Directions: think of the differences between these two ways in identifying the context
of text development? Try to fill this table with your ideas.
HYPERTEXT INTERTEXT
What is It
What is 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.
 It also refers to the occasion or situation that informs the reader about why a
document was written.
 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.
4
The way writers shape their texts is dramatically influenced by their CONTEXT. Writers
decide how to shape their sentences by considering their contexts.
Context is important as a foundation for the author in constructing his/her written

text. This includes how the writer has researched the topic and how he/she
organized the content.
Moxley posed the following questions on the analysis of context:

1. What is going on in the world of readers that will influence the reader’s thoughts
and feelings about the document?
2. Does the intellectual content of the document rest on the shoulders of other
authors? Will readers expect the author to mention particular scholars or
researchers who did the original, ground-breaking work on the subject you are
exploring?
3. What background information can you assume your reader is already familiar with?
Typically, a text is written in a linear fashion. This linear progression only enables
the reader to read the material the way the author designed it from the beginning
to end. HYPERTEXTUALITY allows readers to study a text in a different manner.
In a hypertext, pieces of information are connected semantically. There is

an undefined beginning, middle and end.
Hypertext creates a network of materials linked because of various

connections they share. This encourages and, at times, requires readers to go
through the material at their pace.
Hypertextuality according to Amaral, 2010 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 the material.
This is accomplished by creating “links” between information. These links are

provided so that the 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).
5
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext
Instead of reading or learning about things in the order predefined by an author, an

editor or a publisher, the readers of a hypertext can follow their own path, create their
own order – their own meaning out of the material.
Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts. The term was coined by Ted
Nelson around 1965. It is when you type a word and attach a link to that word so that
upon clicking on that word, the reader is sent to the site attached.
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 materials include pictures, video materials animated and audio
illustrations. All those possibilities make hypertext materials content high and
suitable for educational purposes.
Hypertext connects topic on a screen to related information, graphics, videos, and
music – information is not simply related to text.
This information appears as links and is usually accessed by clicking. The reader can
jump to more information about a topic, which in turn may have more links. This
opens up the reader wider horizon of information to a new direction.
A reader can skim through sections of a text, freely jumping from one part to another
depending on what aspect of the text interests him/her. Thus, in reading with
6
hypertext, you are given more flexibility and personalization because you get to select
the order in which you read the text and focus on information that is relevant to your
background and interests.
Take a look at this example:
Every time you search on the web, you see words or clusters of words that are
underlined and are in blue. When you click these words, you will be transported to
another site.
Hypertext is a new way of reading a text online. It collects every available data but
this exhaustive inclusion exposes the reader to a wealth of irrelevant material. While
intertextuality banks on its text-generated constraints on the reader’s perceptions,
hypertextuality is a reader-generated loose web of free association.
Information directly/indirectly related to the topic written may be referenced through

hyperlinks in which the reader can access the direct source or reference through a
single click.
Hypertextuality, although opens up to a wide variety of mostly irrelevant
information, gives the reader the free will to personalize his or her analysis of the
7
text. The reader
8
may choose to focus only on the information that is related to his/her background,
thus creating a personal meaning out of the given material.
When reading, the readers try to make meaning of the material that they are
absorbing through many different processes. Unintentionally, sometimes, the
patterns in the materials read are apparent in another text. Theorists term this
as intertextuality.
Intertextuality, is also the modelling of a text’s meaning by another text.
It is defined as the connections between language, images, characters,

themes, or subjects depending on their similarities in language, genre and
discourse.
Intertextuality, as defined by Tiongson (2016), is the modeling of a text’s meaning by

another text. Intertext is the relationship 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.
Intertextuality, as a literary device, “is the complex interrelationship between a text

and other texts taken as fundamental to the creation and interpretation of the text” (Merriam
Webster Dictionary, 2015).
Intertext excludes irrelevant data. It underscores the main point/s of the text by
making explicit those data that are only implied or presupposed in the text, thus defining
their relevance. Spurred by this context, a healthy dialogue among different texts and
interpretations, audience, is born.
As readers, the ability to create connections among various texts enhances the
meaning of the reading material.

Additional Activities
DIRECTIONS: Read the following essay and identify the context with which the
text was written by answering the questions in your worksheet.
DIGITAL BAYANIHAN AMID COVID-19

Experts all over the world believe that to mitigate the effects and end the spread of
the Novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), all sectors of the society must work hand
in hand to fight the deadly virus.
It is not the sole responsibility of the government to stop the global pandemic, and it
is imperative for people to join in the efforts and collectively stop the virus from further
infecting anyone.
This rings true in the Philippines, where the spirit of bayanihan is slowly being
revived amid the onslaught of natural and man-made catastrophes that struck the
whole country during the first three months of 2020.
Various non-government organizations and even individuals have started calling on

Filipinos to help in the war against the pandemic, whether it’s through volunteerism or
through monetary donations.
Donations drives have been launched by various groups to help protect frontline
healthcare workers from the virus. These came amid the reported scarcity of personal
protective equipment (PPEs) in hospitals.
Likewise, groups and individuals are seeking support to fund relief goods for the
families that are in need of food and personal hygiene kits, as major cities and
provinces and provinces impose in their own community quarantine protocols.
There are hundreds of more donations drives that are hundreds of more donations
that are happening across the Philippines today, signaling the strong revival of the
Filipino culture of Bayanihan—only that with the strict implementation of community
quarantines and social distancing protocols, donations are facilitated through mobile
phones.
