The term:
\[
\text{Intertextuality}
\]
was coined by Julia Kristeva.
Intertextuality means that a text is connected with other texts.
No text exists in complete isolation.
A literary text may echo, quote, transform, respond to, or depend on earlier texts.
Kristeva developed the idea by drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of dialogism.
Therefore, the term “Intertextuality” was coined by:
\[
\text{Julia Kristeva}.
