Abstract
Defining intertextual strategies as textual strategies linking the host-text
(henceforth: H-text) to the semantic realms of other texts/discourses, and
believing that any variations in the textual strategies are discoursally
motivated, the present study would investigate variations in textualization of
intertextual elements and their discoursal value in widening the ‘meaning
potential’ of the H-texts across different genres. The dimensions of textual
variations, under investigation in this paper, were variations in rank
dimension, semantic distance, depth of embeddedness of textual elements,
degree of physical integration as well as the degree of necessity of the
elements for the further unfolding of the H-discourse across various text-
types. Sample texts from three different genres of scientific, journalistic
articles, and advertisements were selected to be analysed in terms of
variations of their guest (henceforth (3) elements considering these various
dimensions of textualization and their discoursal values, The study would
reveal that the same mode of intertextual strategy has different functions
across different genres. It has also been revealed through this study that there
dre no generic conventions determining and governing the way of
textualization of G-elements. Rather, it is the communicative intention and
attitude of the discourse producer vis-a-vis the topic which determine the
mode of manifestation of the G-elements.

Intertextuality as a Textual Strategy: Explorations In Its Modes and Functions (Part two)* Kazem Lotflpour-Saedi University of Tabriz Mina Abbasi-Bonab Payame-e Nour University, Bonab Abstract Defining intertextual strategies as textual strategies linking the host-text (henceforth: H-text) to the semantic realms of other texts/discourses, and believing that any variations in the textual strategies are discoursally motivated, the present study would investigate variations in textualization of intertextual elements and their discoursal value in widening the 'meaning potential' of the H-texts across different genres.
Sample texts from three different genres of scientific, journalistic articles, and advertisements were selected to be analysed in terms of variations of their guest (henceforth 0) elements considering these various dimensions of textualization and their discoursal values.
By adding 0-sentences to the H-text and by special arrangement of them in the textual hierarchy of the H-text, the writer can express something which he cannot express directly with his own words, In this section we actually analyze a journalistic article in terms of 0-elements to illustrate how the presence of 0-elements contribute to the discoursal function of indirectness.
The arrangement of a G-element in textual hierarchy, in the journalistic text-type, in collaboration with other textual strategies, reflects the attitude of the writer vis-a-vis the topic of the discourse.
While the writer of text A regards people as active forces having ability in participating in the social process of power distribution, the 46 Intertextuality as a Textual Strategy...
