摘要：Hypertextuality nowadays is an integral part of online text construction; however, there are many hypertexts in which cohesion and coherence are neglected by the hypertext constructor. The aim of this paper is to focus on lexical cohesion in hyperarticles on the hypertextual level of text construction. The collection of hyperarticles for analysis is constructed by Alexandra Le Tellier and published in the "Opinion Pages" column of the Los Angeles Times. The main reason for analyzing the hyperarticles of Le Tellier was that she appears to be a competent hypertext constructor since most of her hyperarticles enhance salient lexical cohesion. The methodology of the analysis is based on Jukka Tyrkk.'s model of hyperlinking strategies introduced to describe hyperfiction, however, they are altered and refined to be more appropriate for the description of hyperarticles. The result of the analysis seems to demonstrate that although hyperarticles are complete texts, as opposed to hyperfiction, they can be constructed – by a competent text constructor – to support salient lexical cohesion in the hypertextual dimension of textness
