Paraphrase Engenders Intertextuality

Paraphrasing is an act of cerebral serendipity causing a fortuitous improvement upon the original text. It is a revival of creation in different words that are applied carefully to create another creation that would pave the way for Intertextuality. It is a semiotic study that explicates the closest relationship among texts with a special refence to cultural, pragmatic, and semantic elements embedded consciously or unconsciously in texts. Paraphrasing is employed as a linguistic tool to understand the original text buried deeply under inexplicable references. It is an autotelic agent served as a catalyst in the field of Intertextuality. This research article tries to bring forth how paraphrasing gives a fresh impetus to Intertextuality and creates resemblances among texts in the long tradition of literature. Besides, it shows how the new poets are in the habit of making plausible references at the expense of the old poets with the help of paraphrasing.
