摘要：Research studies that investigate hypertexts describe intertextuality as an inherent characteristic of these texts, since it takes the reader to a new text through the presence of hyperlinks. Considering intertextuality as a linguistic-discursive phenomenon that connects different speeches and is manifested in broad and restricted senses, this paper poses the question: “in which sense is the hypertext characterized as inherently intertextual?” In our analysis, we have observed that the intertextual phenomenon is described only as result of the juxtaposition of texts by hyperlinks, thus ignoring relations of meaning between them and existenting differences in comparison to how the same phenomenon would occur in written texts.
