SOME QUOTES FROM THE TEXT, THAT TALKS ABOUT GENRES.
” To characterize how genres fit into and comprise larger organizations, roles, organizations, and activities, several overlapping concepts have been. proposed, each grabbing a different aspect of this configuration: genre set, genre system and activity system ”
“Genres are social facts about the kinds of speech acts people can make and the ways they can make them. Genres arise in social processes of people trying to understand each other well enough to coordinate activities and share meanings for their practical purposes.”
