GENRE
“Genres are not just forms. Genres are forms of life, ways of being. They are
frames for social action… Genres shape the thoughts we form from which we
interact.”-Charles Bazerman (1997)

GENRE
Genres are how things get done, when we use language to accomplish them (James Martin).
A genre is a type of communicative event that possesses features of stability and name
recognition, and it is characterized by a set of communicative purposes which are identified and
understood by the established members of the discourse community (Swales, 1990).

GENRE ANALYSIS
Non-literary genre analysis is the study of situated linguistic behavior in
institutionalized academic or professional settings. In many of the recent studies of
professional and academic genres, there has been strong emphasis on
conventionalized or institutionalized aspects of language use. It seeks to understand
how genres function within particular communities and how they shape
communication.

GENRE ANALYSIS
The genre analysis begins from the idea that the texts used in particular specialist
environments, whether that be academic writing, business or other professional
activity, have particular characteristics that distinguish them from other texts and
from the generalized summaries of linguistic features that arise from an approach to
text analysis that uses a corpus of differing texts (Bhatia).

JOHN MALCOLM
SWALES
John Malcolm Swales (born 1938) is a linguist best known for his
work on genre analysis, particularly with regard to its application
to the fields of rhetoric, discourse analysis, English for Academic
Purposes, and more recently, information science.
CARS MODEL
John Swales’ Create a Research Space (CARS) model comprising three rhetorical
moves; namely, Move 1 (establish a research territory), Move 2 (establish a niche), and
Move 3 (occupy the niche) describes the rhetorical strategies that researchers utilize in
order to claim research space in their disciplines in a highly competitive research
environment (Adika).
