Bitextual work (or bi-textual work) is a form of writing in which a single sequence of words yields two or more distinct interpretations by exploiting lexical polysemy and structural ambiguity. It resembles a pun in its use of multiple meanings, but differs in that it is crafted to support distinct narrative and semantic readings rather than a single humorous effect.
