KEY CONCEPTS FOR UNDERSTANDING
DiscourseCommunity Swales (1990) gives the followingdefinitions: A discoursecommunity has a broadlyagreed set of common public goals. It has mechanisms for intercommunication amongitsmembers(e.g., meetings, correspondence, newsletter, mailing list).
DiscourseCommunity c. It uses participatorymechanismsprimarilyto provide information and feedback (in accordance with the common goal). d. A discoursecommunity has developed and continues to developdiscoursal expectations (pp. 25-26).
Genreis a termfor grouping texts together, representing how writers typically use language to respond to recurring situations (Hyland, 2004).
    A genre comprises a set of communicative events, the members of which share some set of communicative purposes (Swales, 1990).    Exemplars of a genre exhibit various patterns of similarity in terms of structure, style, content and intended audience.
Genreis a social action and a speech eventthat has communicative goal shared by the members of a particulardiscoursecommunity.

In applied linguistics, three approaches to genre:
The English for specific purposes (ESP) approach
The New Rhetoric approach
The functional-systemic approach (Halliday),[object Object]
research article, conference proposal, business report, grant application, letter to the editor, reference letter, MA dissertation, MA dissertation proposal, lecture, seminar
Some examples are public and occluded.(Swales and Feaks 2000)
Public / Open Genres - are accessible to everyone, often published, and are easily visible and audible
Occluded / Supporting Genres - are ‘closed’, not public in nature, and often difficult to access examples of.
[object Object]
Genres and subgenres:
Review > book review, film review, CD review
Promotional writing > sales letter, tourist brochure,[object Object]
	This genre alsofollows the acceptable rhetorical structure popular in that discipline.  Example:        An adjustmentletter in a discoursecommunitylike the Baggage Claims in an airport must adhere to the policies and format in thatdepartment. It must alsobewrittenfollowingbaiscprinciples of business communication. If itdoes not followtheseprinciples, its genre integrityisatstake as well as the integrity of the departmentthatproducedit.
b. Discursive Processes and Genre  Bhatia (1999) points out thatprofessional genres are often the "products of a set of establishedproceduresthatform an important part of the disciplinary culture within a profession" (p.23).
Example:    In the field of information technology, a project proposal is a collaborative work that follows a cyclical process as groups collaborate with clients, with other members of the company, and with other members of the design group.
c. GenericPurposes and Intentions 	"Althoughmany of the genres employed in well-establishedprofessionalcontexts serve recognizable and somewhatstandardized set of communicative purposes, theyrarely, if ever, serve a single purpose. If nothingelse, theyalmostalways combine a more immediate single purposewith the moststanderdizedones of maintenance and continuance of goodwill and a mutuallybeneficialprofessionalrelationship" (Bhatia, 1999, p. 25).
Example:   - the use of newsletters by universities to inform the community about the developments in their institution and to market fund raising programs to the alumni
d. Genre Participants 	"Practicing genre isalmostlikeplaying a gamewithitsrules and conventions. Established genre participants, bothwriters and readers, are likeskillfulplayers, whosucceed by their manipulation and exploitation of, ratherthan a strict compliancewith, the rules of the game" (Bhatia, 1999, p.24).
e. Genre Versality Although genres like business lettersfollowconventional formats, different institutions and companies have theirownnorms for structuringtheircomminications. This is the reasonwhy new employeesneed to acquaintthemselveswith the corporate culture in theirworkplace.
Genre Analysisis a process of lookingatseveralsamples of a particular genre to analyzetheirsimilarities and differences in terms of theirpurposes, macrostructure and languagechoice.
Genre Analysis: The CARS Model             Swales (1990): Move and step analysis of introductions to    research articles: the CARS (creating a research space) model Move 1: Establishing a territory  Step 1. Claiming centrality and/or 	Step 2. Making topic generalizations and/or 	Step 3. Reviewing items of previous research Move 2: Establishing a niche  Step 1a Counter-claiming or Step 1b Indicating a gap or 	Step 1c Question-raising or 	Step 1d Continuing a tradition Move 3: Occupying the niche Step 1a Outlining purposes or 	Step 1b Announcing present research 	Step 2 Announcing principle findings 	Step 3 Indicating Research article structure
