Abstract

The descriptive approach will be used, in an attempt to present a new perspective on intertextuality, which is the perspective (the general cognitive system) that goes beyond the partial idea of critical studies based on researching or evaluating intertextuality sources and forms, to an attempt to identify the nature of intertextuality and the rules of its production in brief literary genres, through a marginalized literary genre, it is (The Dream), the study will use the (Generative Transformational Theory) and the contributions made by (Text Linguistics), and (Discourse Analysis) that goes beyond the text to the concept of discourse.
