Abstract: In this work, we’ll study briefly what we must understand with “intertextuality” and “intersemiotic”. After that, we’ll study the presence of intertextuality in song lyrics. Intertextuality or what is called intermusicality is one of the aesthetic characteristics of traditional, modern or postmodern musical works; this intermusical aspect can be observed also in various practices of popular music. It is possible to perceive traces of intermusical practices and their functions and functioning only when we establish a theoretical infrastructure relating to intermusical practices. In the first part that is the theoretical background of this work, we develop Genette’s intermusical approach that argues it under the name of “hyperaesthetic practices” and S. Lacasse’s one, he introduces the term of “transphonography”, term which takes as a starting point Genette’s concept of “transtextuality”, to study various intermusical practices used in the popular music (in particularly, Flaubert’s Madame Bovary). When we leave field of non-verbal to enter to field of the verbal one, it will be possible at what point several songs have a referential capacity, and this, if we determine sufficiently the theoretical data that will be used for such an attempt.
