    This contribution deals with an approach applicable to the practical literary analysis of texts characterized by hypertextuality. The author first distinguishes print hypertextuality, which she considers a subcategory of intertextuality, from electronic hypertextuality. The author heavily relies on Gérard Genette's theory of hypertextuality which she, however, adds to. Genette only deals with the binary relationship between the hypertext and the hypotext. Nevertheless, literary hypertexts may also refer to other pre-texts. The author calls these pre-texts grafted texts. All three categories of texts then participate in hypertextual communication mediated by the interpretational function of the hypertext and they form direct and indirect relationships with each other
