Description
Genre analysis has a long-established tradition in literature, but interest in the analysis of non-literary genres has been very recent. This book examines the theory of genre analysis, looks at genre analysis in action, taking texts from a wide variety of genres and discusses the use of genre analysis in language teaching and language reform.
Reviews
"...the analysis model suggested by Bhatia is very operational, practical, and plausible. It provides the analyst with a tool that enables him to define and investigate any genre (and not only the unfamiliar ones!)....The contribution that Bhatia has made to genre analysis is a very constructive attempt to develop a model capable of capturing social conventions linked to genres. His approach is very well adapted for educational purposes, easy to go with many examples of how to do the analysis."
