open-in-new
<h2 id="subtypes">Subtypes</h2> <p>Genette provided five subtypes of transtextuality, namely: intertextuality, <a href="/facts/Paratextuality/WQ5rPnhJ">paratextuality</a>, architextuality, <a href="/facts/Metatextuality/TWwLAey1">metatextuality</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hypertext_(semiotics)/kGnUqoTe">hypertextuality</a> (also known as <a href="/facts/Hypotext/uF9VhgLC">hypotextuality</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h3>Description</h3> <p>The following are the descriptions for the five subtypes of transtextuality: </p> <ul><li>Intertextuality could be in the form of quotation, plagiarism, or allusion.</li> <li>Paratextuality is the relation between one text and its paratext that surrounds the main body of the text. Examples are titles, headings, and prefaces.</li> <li>Architextuality is the designation of a text as a part of a genre or genres.</li> <li>Metatextuality is the explicit or implicit critical commentary of one text on another text.</li> <li>Hypotextuality or hypertextuality is the relation between a text and a preceding 'hypotext' – a text or genre on which it is based but which it transforms, modifies, elaborates or extends. Examples are parody, spoof, sequel, and translation. In information technology, hypertextuality is a text that takes the reader directly to other texts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a></li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Literary_theory/CK3TAHoN">Literary theory</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Post-structuralism/N1GPxB42">Post-structuralism</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Semiotics/DuS3kK2g">Semiotics</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Umberto_Eco/tDTJHXe6">Umberto Eco</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Meta_(prefix)/WQu5Xe1N">Meta</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Transmedia_storytelling/4wKI8QaY">Transmedia storytelling</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Institute_for_Transtextual_and_Transcultural_Studies/UTK0QlG3">Institute for Transtextual and Transcultural Studies</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Genette, Gérard.
