Intertextuality in the review genre

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how the phenomenon of intertextuality manifests itself in the review genre, from the theoretical perspective of Textual Linguistics. To do so, we delimited data from recent empirical research texts of reviews published in the academic and journalistic spheres, in which we sought to identify the brands of various categories of intertextuality. Assuming that the review is a dialogic text that purports to present and evaluate another text, the results obtained from the analysis lead us to confirm our hypothesis that intertextuality in this genre is mainly woven through the explicitness of the dialogue with texts and authors.
