Transtextuality

Transtextuality is defined as the "textual transcendence of the text". According to Gérard Genette transtextuality is "all that sets the text in relationship, whether obvious or concealed, with other texts" and it "covers all aspects of a particular text".[1]Genette described transtextuality as a "more inclusive term" than intertextuality.[2][3]

Subtypes

Genette provided five subtypes of transtextuality, namely: intertextuality, paratextuality, architextuality, metatextuality, and hypertextuality (also known as hypotextuality).[2][3]

Description

The following are the descriptions for the five subtypes of transtextuality:
