LET’S GET
READY:
Introduction
Understanding the use of context in text development provides meaning and clarity to the intended
message. It creates a relationship between the writer and the reader, and helps to communicate one’s point of
view and makes it easier to understand and appreciate the text message. The Context in Text Development
serves as a connection of written or spoken text that instantly links with a word or passage that clarifies its
meaning. Context is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and other related circumstances that
surround the text and form the terms from which it can be understood and evaluated.

In this module, you will get to learn the relationship of a written text and the context in which it was
developed - Hypertext or Inter text. Knowing the text‘s concept will help you appreciate and understand the
text’s message more deeply.

LET’S
LEARN:
Discussion

Using Context in Text Development

In the previous lesson you have learned that in exploring a text, it is important that you understand what you are
reading to get the message of the text, for you to develop the skill in verifying issues, affirming one’s values or
even make a decision if necessary. Critical reading also means that you are able to distinguish the information
that is clearly stated (explicit) in the text from ideas that are suggested (implicit). This will help you make
inferences about what you read and challenges you to give reactions.

Knowing how to identify explicit and implicit information will help you in developing one of the most
important skills needed in critical reading: evaluating the claims made by an author. This involves going back to
the text to recognize the writer’s arguments and evidence so that you can begin judging the writer’s work.

A. HYPERTEXT
It is simply a non-linear way of presenting information, rather than the traditional linear process of
reading from beginning to end. Readers of hypertext may
follow their own path , create their own order- their own meaning out of the materials that connect topics on a
screen to related information, graphics, videos, and music- the information is not simply related to text.

How can you identify hypertext? This information appears as links and is usually accessed by clicking and
shifting to different web pages in a matter of seconds and minutes. The reader can navigate around the internet
and jump to more information about a topic, which in turn may have more links,that open up the reader to a
wider horizon of information or to a new directions.

B. INTER TEXT
It is the interconnection between similar or related works of literature in terms of language, images,
characters, themes, or subjects depending on their similarities in language, genre, or discourse, that

reflects and influences an audience’s interpretation of the text. Intertextuality is the relation between
texts that are inflicted by means of quotations and allusion.
Example:

1. Tailor Swift’s song “ Love Story” makes intertextuality references to Romeo and Juliet
And the “ Scarlet Letter”:
“Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter and my daddy said stay away from Juliet.”

2. Another example of Intertextuality is also seen in the local legend of folk hero Bernardo Carpio.
Many versions of his tale exist, but local folklore says he is a giant who is the cause of earthquakes. In
Greek mythology, there is also Poseidon, who is the god of the sea and earthquakes. Many cultures also
attribute natural disasters to legendary figures.
Here are some key points to sum up our lesson:

➢ Critical reading is not merely reading and comprehending the information given by the author.

➢ Being a critical reader also involves understanding that texts are always developed with a certain context.

➢ Context is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and other related circumstances that surround
the text and form the terms from which it can be better understood and evaluated.

➢ Knowledge of the text’s content helps in appreciating the text’s message more deeply.

➢ Hypertext is a non-linear way of showing information which is relatively a new way of reading a text online.

➢ Readers of hypertext can jump from the original text to another connected text using a link.

➢ Intertextuality is the modeling of a text’s meaning by another text.
