| ABSTRACT In 1981, two linguists, de Beaugrande and Dressler, say that every text should have seven criteria to be said as a meaningful and complete text. These criteria are concerned with the meaning and structure of the text. They are cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality, and the last one is intertextuality. Some of these criteria are user-centered, while the others are text-centered. This study investigates the seventh criterion which is intertextuality. It tries to investigate the intertextual relations that can be found within texts. It aims at finding how a text is built and constructed, how more than one event and text are integrated within one text, and for what purposes addressers tend to use prior texts in their new texts. The study is an analysis to James Joyce's 'Eveline' as a sample text in terms of the standard of intertextuality. It shows the main types and meanings of intertextuality adopted by de Beaugrande and Dressler (1981) and Genette (1992). It gives a scientific and systematic way of analyzing texts in the perspective of intertextuality and this enables students to know how a given text is built and constructed. Finally, the study will be put in the limits of discourse analysis field. | ||
