Intertextuality

Hi.

Is 'Intertextuality' kind of rhetorical device? Or is it a language style?

Thanks!👁 Smile :)
It's a literary device in which one text is written or evaluated in reference to another, or to several others.
There is a Wikipedia artice that is helpfully unhelpful on intertextuality:
As philosopher William Irwin wrote, the term “has come to have almost as many meanings as users, from those faithful to Kristeva’s original vision to those who simply use it as a stylish way of talking about allusion and influence.”
Thanks.

May I ask that if a binary code(1,0) used in a headline with a potential meaning belongs to intertextuality?
Here is the source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...362925246.html

If not, is it a usage of metonym or pun? But I assume that intertextuality means a text linked to another text, or media, but I am not sure when it related to a computer jargon.
