It focuses on the terminology of key concepts such as memory, cultural memory, text, discourse, intertextuality, and interdiscursivity. The concept of memory is examined from various perspectives, with particular emphasis on cultural memory. Cultural memory plays a central role in preserving cultural identity and is conveyed through various forms of communication, primarily through texts. Text is identified as one of the main carriers of cultural memory and a means of its verbalization. Discourse is described as a collection of texts and a form of verbalized cognitive activity. In this context, intertextuality and interdiscursivity are key concepts that describe the interactions between different types of texts and discourses.othermemorycultural memorytextdiscourseintertextualityinterdiscursivityArticle
