摘要：When the writing subject is communicating with the addressee, their texts simultaneously communicate with the present and the past texts. The author carries out an empirical study to find out issues to be addressed in the context of Chinese university in EFL learners’ English writing with respect to intertextuality. The study examines the manifestations of three types of intertextualities---material intertextuality, generic intertextuality and cultural intertextuality and finds out that there are obvious material intertextualities between students’ individualized texts and exterior texts. Certain generic intertextualities manifesting in the repetition of specific structures are deficient. And in terms of cultural intertextuality, it is found that the exterior texts have exerted an obvious cultural intertextual influence on activating pertinent schema texts of participants, promoting the comprehension of the writing theme as well as further affecting the completions of their writings.
