Intertextuality concept relates to ways in which texts are refered to other texts by virtue of stories or discourse embedded in them. Moreover, texts can
refer forward or backward.

other texts within a text - quotation.

Fairclough ’s theory is developed the
Intertextuality ideas by Julia Kristeva and Michael Bakhtin.
As follow Fairclough theory, there is a set of other texts and a set of voices which is are potentially relevant, and pottentially incorporated into the text. Where
other texts are intertextuality incorporated in a text, they may or may not be attributed. For instance, Example, an extract from Tony Blair’s speech following
the attack on the World Trade Center in September 2001, includes quite a lot of non-attributed intertextuality, and this is true of the speech as a whole. One
example is

:

much of it; on the contrary there’s too little of it. The issue is not how to stop globalization. The issue is how we use the power of the
community to combine it with justice.
There is a repeated pattern here of denial followed by assertion – negative
clause followed by positive clause. Denials imply the assertion „elsewhere’ of
what is being denied – in this case, that someone has asserted that there is too
much globalization in trade, and that the issue is how to stop globalization. In the context which this extract comes, Blair has been reffering to peo
ple who „protest againts globalization’. What he is implying is that these people do assert or have
asserted these things, but he is not actually attributing the assertions to them. In fact, many who „protest againts globalization’ are not claiming that there is „too
