Abstract-The major intent of this study was to investigate the way through which intertextuality has being utilized in the Four Corners series. To this end, Fairclough's (1992) framework in dealing with intertextuality were deployed. Hence, ten reading passages were selected randomly among the passages of the series which were analyzed in terms of intertextuality types and ways of reporting. The results of the investigation revealed that sequential and manifest intertextuality was deployed in the reading passages in which different texts or discourse types were alternated and merged in a more separable way. Furthermore, the results of the study showed that the reading passages relied heavily on direct reporting in some cases on indirect and narrative reporting strategies of intertextuality. Hence, the findings of the study showed that intertextuality were utilized for imposing some particular relationship between a specific text and a genre and also the relationship between a text and its cultural context. Index Terms-intertextuality, sequential intertextuality, mixed intertextuality, indirect reporting, narrative reporting of speech act
