Genre Analysis

Susan introduced how you need to know the genre well to play around with it... an example is from

Davis & Rinvolucri,  Dictation: new methods, new possibilities, who turned DICTATION upside down. Another book by them is about language labs.

A method for doing genre analysis, by Susan Gerofsky (reprise from earlier post)

Genres by their nature are not "definable"...

1. Existence/patterns: what is/isn't a textbook? how can you tell?
2. Chronotype: setting, place, time ... and math?
3. Addressivity: how does the textbook imagine its audience and position its audience and itself?
