metadata.value: This article reviews intertextuality — that is, a text’s ability to fully or partially form its meaning
  by referencing other texts. First, it gives a brief overview of the basic theoretical framework
  for researching this phenomenon, starting from the works of Julia Kristeva and Roland
  Barthes. Afterwards, the author notes that the use of intertextual insertions from English
  phraseology or widely-known works of literature creates opportunities for wordplay, as such
  insertions tend to undergo structural and/or semantic transformation, which disrupts the linear
  perception of the narrative, thus both making the audience aware that a different text is
  being referenced and helping intertextual insertions perform their expressive function. This
  particular study of intertextuality and its properties is based on material sourced from the
  English-language television discourse. Therefore, it focuses on the fact that, as headings and
  titles perform a special pragmatic function, preparing the audience for perceiving the text that
  follows, intertextual insertions are often used in episode titles of English-language TV series,
  including animated series, which allows to bolster the viewers’ interest by utilising wordplay
  and appealing to background knowledge. From the translation studies point of view, however,
  such intertextual insertions may present a challenge, as the phenomena they reference may not
  bear any significance to speakers of foreign languages, such as Russian. Thus, the next issue
  touched upon in the article is the translator’s choice of strategies that might help prompt an
  equivalent reaction from the Russian-speaking audience. Such strategies may include searching
  for a different text or language factor that might be meaningful to Russian speakers. As the
  article reviews empiric material collected from animated television series, special emphasis is
  given to the issue of taking into account the background knowledge of this medium’s specific
  audience, which includes both children of various ages and adults.
