In 1986, French semiotician Julia Kristeva defined intertextuality as “any text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations and any text is the absorption and transformation of another” (Kristeva, 1986:37). With the emergence of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in 1970s, intertextuality has become a very popular critical concept, the theories of which have been widely applied to research on common discourses (especially non-literary discourses). The original research of Intertextuality in China is traced back to 1994. The article “On intertextuality”, written by Qiping Yin, introduced for the first time the conception of intertextuality.

In recent years, the enthusiasm of research on intertextuality didn't dwindle. Its accomplishments still emerge in pretty fast speed in different fields, like theoretical basis, literary criticism, translation studies, etc. The scope and breadth of the research improves a lot. However, research on intertextuality in electronic text, such as network teaching platform text, still lacks attention.

With the development of internet technology and multimedia technology, network teaching platform emerges as a new teaching mode. Therefore, this paper, taking the network teaching platform of Wuhan University of technology as example, makes a relatively complete study of intertextuality in network teaching platform text. It aims to propose some feasible methods to make the best of network teaching platform of Wuhan University of technology, which will offer a better service for students. The study is expected to achieve both theoretical and practical significance as follows:

First of all, intertextuality analysis in electronic text has not given much attention to. This study breaks through the traditional mode of thinking(limited to the theories or the phenomenon of intertextuality itself) and turns to the original analysis of intertextuality in electronic text in order to shed light on intriguing findings. This paper explores the functions of intertextuality in text of Wuhan University of technology’s network teaching platform, which is a brand-new perspective.

Secondly, as a new electronic text, network teaching platform text is extremely open and inclusive. It employs various media and mixes different texts. Its forms are

flexible and its intertextuality is particularly prominent.

Thirdly, taking the network teaching platform of Wuhan University of technology

as example is not only objective but also more efficient. As the author is a student of Wuhan University of technology, it’s more easier and quickly to find the target data by connecting campus network, which can improve the accuracy of final result and carry on a muti-level and all-rounded research.

Fourthly, this paper analyses the advantages and disadvantages of Wuhan University of technology’s network teaching platform and proposes some feasible methods to make the best of network teaching platform of Wuhan University of technology, which will offer a better service for students. The study achieves both theoretical and practical significance.
