Abstract
Each text has standards to be regarded as commumicative. Intertextuality is one of those standards. People in their everyday conversations use intertextuality as a proof to enhance their turns. Intetextuality means using a past (old) text in a present (new) text for the purpose of giving the communicative sense to the new text . The researchers follow Laurent Jenney’s article " Stratigies of forms "( 1980 ) as a model to analyse the chosen texts . They use a qualitative analysis method only which is concerned with the descriptive level of analysis. The current study aims at (i) presenting the concept of intertextuality and examining its forms. (ii) Cheking , to what extent , intertextuality is apllicable and provides a communicative sense to the texts in literary works. The hypotheses of this study are (i) intertextuality can be expressed in both ways implicitly and explicitly. (ii) The three forms (allusion , quotation and parody ) of intertextuality are used repeatedly in spoken or witten texts )iii) the readers’ background knowledge to understand a certain text is essential .
