A Pragmatic Study of Intertextuality in William Wordsworth’s Selected Poems

The idea that intertextuality is not the unique property of one author; it is the cornerstone of the intertextuality hypothesis. However, their intertextual relationship, or connection to other texts, implies that a text does not work as a self-contained unit. Unlike other literary works, poems can be challenging for people to read and understand. The goal of the study is to determine whether intertextuality promotes more imaginative reading by analyzing how it is used in William Wordsworth's poems "Tintern Abbey" (1798) and "Daffodils" (1807). The study's goal was to determine whether the intertextuality in the selected poem by William Wordsworth improved imaginative reading. The study employed a qualitative research technique and a method of literature review to address the research question effectively. The study results imply that by analyzing the four stanzas of Wordsworth's poem using Faircloughs (1989) making use of (2001) three- dimentional model, one can read and comprehend poetry more effectively and understand how William Wordsworth used intertextuality. In order to make those elements look as: This research also analyzes the function of intertextuality; this paper will test if it applies the intertextuality concept to William Wordsworth. This paper focuses on the pragmatics of intertextuality, which is seen as the more general cognitive and contextual reality that encourages readers to draw connections between texts in an intertextual. For our purposes, literary intertextuality is a collaborative process between the literary work and the reader, who must use textual elements and prior knowledge to make intertextual connections. Given the breadth of phenomena it has been used to represent, intertextuality is a philosophically challenging and hotly debated concept that as Irwin (2004) points out, has virtually as many definitions as users. It has also been used to refer to references to literary character names.
