*technically defined as a process of text
development that merges two more processes
such as imitation and creation in doing a text. It
involves imitation because the author as highly
influenced by another author comes up with his
own version of the text consciously or
unconsciously incorporating the style and other
characteristics of the text done by that author.
Intertextuality has rooted from the work
of a Swiss linguist Ferdinand de
Saussure (1857-1913). Meanwhile, the
term itself was first used by Bulgarian-
French philosopher and psychoanalyst
Julia Kristeva in the 1960s
