Objectives
• Identify the nature and purpose of
hypertext and intertext
• Identify and differentiate hypertext
and intertext
• Identifying context in which a text

HYPERTEXT
 What is a HYPERTEXT ?

 What is an
INTERTEXT ?
 INTERTEXT
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 a text that is created
by another author
 INTERTEXT
The shaping of a text meaning by another text.
Intertext is derived from a Latin word "intertexto",
meaning to intermingle while weaving. It is a
development of text that merges two or more
processes such as imitation and creation in doing a
text.

Pastiche is a stylistic
imitation of another work of art
—be it literature, music,
theater, or architecture.
Pastiche is a form of
intertextuality in which an

 CRITICAL
READING AS
REASONING
What is critical
reading?
 CRITICAL READING
Critical reading is engaging in analytic activity
which involves the reader by asking
questions about the text and the author’s claim.
Critical reading means that a reader applies certain
processes, models, questions, and theories that
result in enhanced clarity and comprehension.
 What is
reasoning ?
 REASONING
While reasoning as defined by Merriam Webster
dictionary is an act of giving
statements for justification and explanation. It is
the ability of someone to defend
something by giving out reasons.
 Critical readers are doing the process of
evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting the
assertion of the hidden meaning of the whole
text. Therefore, when reading critically, it is
necessary to question the different arguments
used by the author, as any problem can weaken
the authenticity of the conclusion. Remember that
Critical reading is not meant to criticize but to
assess the validity of textual evidence.
STEPS USED IN CRITICAL READING
AS REASONING

Identifying assertions Identify

by a common type of assertion
such as fact, convention, opinion
and
preference
 Formulating counterclaim
Counterclaims are made to rebut
a previous claim

Determining evidence
Evidence is the details given by
the authors to support his/her
claims
 EXAMPLE :
You are asking your father for an android cellphone,
that is your claim. Then your father answers you. “No,
you can’t!” this is his counterclaim. He might say that you
already have a cellphone.
Therefore when you are going to formulate reason for
the counterclaim, you should state the reason why you are
asking for an android cellphone. You might say that you
could use it in your online classes because Android
cellphone would be very useful in this new normal
classroom set-up. When you write your counterclaim, you
are expressing unfavorable statements. Therefore it is
needed to use hedges words or phrases to be able to give a
courteous tone.
 DIFFERENT FORMS OF HEDGES
MODALS: (may, could, would, should, might,
certain, must, etc.)
FREQUENCY ADVERBS: (usually, generally,
commonly )
PROBABILITY ADVERS; (probably, possibly,
presumably)
EXAMPLE :
The common colds caused by a virus.
With hedges:
The common colds must be caused by a virus.
