The Intertextual Dimensions of the Authorial Preface

Abstract

This paper discusses the types and the explicit and implicit forms of the intertextual relationship between the authorial preface and the basic text, the paratexts and the text-typological schema of the preface. Th ere is modeled the two-level structure of intertextuality, which includes a texttypological aspect and a referential aspect. Th e explicit markers of intertextuality are considered as the items with the double function: with the explicit reference to the basic text and the implicit reference to the linguistic academic discourse.
