Abstract

This article details the history of the emergence and development of the term intertextuality as well as the history of the phenomena described by the term before it acquired this meaning. The author analysed the differences in understanding intertextuality by various schools, as well as narrow and broad interpretations of the term. The paper proves that the different perceptions of intertextuality arise from different definitions of the term text. Further, it demonstrates the relationship between intertextuality and interdiscursivity through the identity of such concepts as constitutive intertextuality and interdiscursivity. Using concrete examples, the author dwells on various types of intertextuality, such as typological, code, genre, and rhetorical intertextuality. In addition, the article makes a distinction between the linguistic and literary interpretations of the term intertextuality. Further, the paper presents a comparative analysis of various conceptions concerning the relationship between intertextuality, interdiscursivity and such related concepts as polyphony, intermediality, metadiscursivity, iterability, presupposition, mediality, hypertextuality, and extratext. The importance of the role played by the sociocultural space in linguistic discourse analysis is also proved here. The author argues that the interdiscursivity / intertextuality relation is not symmetrical to the discourse / text one. The concept of interdiscursivity is close to the notion of typological intertextuality but, unlike the latter, it is a more extensive phenomenon having both sociocultural and psychological dimensions. Intertextuality indicates a lack of self-sufficiency of the discourse, thereby signaling interdiscursivity. Interdiscursivity is recipient-oriented and requires a high level of scientific and artistic abstraction from the recipient. Interdiscursivity in a literary text makes it multidimensional and creates a hierarchy of contexts by including cultural codes from various spheres of culture.
