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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...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."
