Abstract:
The study of genre is scattered across research disciplines. This volume
offers an integrative perspective starting from the assumption that genres are
cognitive constructs, recognized, maintained and employed by members of a
given discourse community. Its central questions are: What does genre
knowledge consist of? How is it organized in cognition? How is it applied in
discourse production and interpretation? How is it reflected in language use?
