Abstract:

"Intertextuality" is the overarching idea that all texts and
conversations are linked to other texts and conversations, and that
people create and infer meanings in discourse through making and
interpreting these links. Intertextuality is fundamentally connected
to metadiscourse; when a person draws on or references one text or
conversation in another (intertextuality), they necessarily
communicate something about that text or conversation (metadiscourse).
While scholars have long recognized the interrelatedness of these two
theoretical concepts, existing studies have tended to focus on one or
the other, leaving underexplored the specific ways in which these
phenomena are intertwined at the micro-interactional level, especially
online, and for what purposes.

This interactional sociolinguistic study contributes to filling this
gap by demonstrating how specific intertextual linking strategies,
both linguistic (e.g., word repetition, deictic pronouns) and
multimodal (e.g., emojis, symbols, and GIFs), are mobilized by posters
participating in online weight loss discussion boards. These
strategies serve as a resource to accomplish the metadiscursive
activities, targeted at various levels of discourse, through which
participants construct shared understandings, negotiate the group's
interactional norms, and facilitate engagement in the group's primary
shared activity: exchanging information about, and providing support
for, weight loss, healthful eating, and related issues. By rigorously
applying the perspective of metadiscourse in a study of
intertextuality, 'Intertextuality 2.0' offers important new insights
into why intertextuality occurs and what it accomplishes: it helps
people manage the challenges of communication.
