More about the book
The book explores genre analysis through the lens of the 'Sydney School' of functional linguistics, emphasizing the connection between genre, language, and social context. It categorizes five major genre families—stories, histories, reports, explanations, and procedures—while offering descriptive tools and theoretical insights. Aimed at functional linguists and discourse analysts, it also addresses contemporary issues in genre analysis. Authored by J R Martin and David Rose, the text integrates their expertise in linguistics and focuses on language education, particularly for Indigenous Australians.
