Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how hypotexte appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Le texte ne décrit pas par étapes, mais répartit alternativement, le long de la ligne à laquelle il ne peut échapper, des éléments qui relèvent tantôt du texte, tantôt de l'hypotexte.
Tout texte amplifie une matrice signifiante sous-jacente qu'il appelle "hypotexte" : pas de plus bel exemple que le poème d'André Breton, Il y avait une fois un dindon sur une digue, devant lequel on séchait jusqu'à ce que Riffaterre y lise une élaboration de "Digue dondaine, digue dondon" !
