Researching Intertextual Reading
Intertextuality represents the most cognitively complex yet least researched aspect of reading. Researching Intertextual Reading in the series Contemporary Studies in Descriptive Linguistics offers a ground-breaking discussion of principles and practice in researching intertextuality in reading. It merits double-weighting because it is based on two substantial, distinct but related empirical research projects, combining insights from a discourse perspective (Part 1), which proposes an original framework for researching intertextuality in discourse, with experimental data on readers’ cognitive processes as they read intertextually (Part 2). It concludes by demonstrating the substantial implications of both projects for future research into intertextuality and reading.
