Abstract: This article is devoted to the research of functioning of the perfect tense in multi-dimensional electronic hypertext. The grammatical category of taxis turns each time flow into developed sequence of occurring here-and-now. Integral relation and interaction between Perfect and grammatical categories of aspect and time defines semantic and stylistic content of Perfect. The regular consequence of these language facts is the ability of the English Perfect forms to establish linear links between the text fragments, thus carrying out the role of an applied guide to human behaviour in the information-oriented society.
