Lexical semantics and automatic hypertext construction

We describe recent work in the area of lexical semantics as it applies to the task of automatic hypertext construction. A discussion of the basic principles of lexical cohesion is used to inform the discussion of a method for extracting sets of lexically related words from a text -a process called lexical chaining. We discuss how various researchers have used lexical chains to perform automatic hypertext construction and related tasks.
