Features: This book primarily discusses the functional role of genre in the English written system. Genre, sometimes referred to as text type, generally refers to a specific style of linguistic form. However, the author expands the meaning of genre and conducts pioneering research in a new context. Specifically, the author no longer views genre as a purely formal category but rather as a social process, introducing genre into soci historical studies. The book cites numerous examples, offers vivid analysis, and provides a systematic and highly operational analytical framework.
