Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine selected studies into paratextuality found across three different cultural and linguistic contexts. Three scholars have been asked to investigate the notion of Genette’s paratext in their domestic environments via WebQuest research: Middle-Eastern, Polish, and Turkish, as well as finding noteworthy case studies in the Arabic, Polish and Turkish languages. The findings have then been analysed, compared and assessed to report on the condition of paratextual research in the Middle-East, Poland, and Turkey.
