The Concept of "Speech Genre" in Major Linguistic Areas
Journal Title: Вісник Житомирського державного університету імені Івана Франка - Year 2016, Vol 84, Issue 2
Abstract
Genre as a linguistic phenomenon has been extensively studied by various linguistic schools, where it is defined reflecting the specificity of the field. The research focuses on the analysis of various approaches to the understanding of the notion "speech genre" in New Rhetorics, Systemic Functional Linguistics, Communicative Linguistics, Cognitive Linguistics, Lingvo-Cultural Studies and Applied Linguistics. There are two main trends in the Theory of Speech Genres: genology (purely linguistic approach) and genre studies (pragmatic approach). Genre is studied in accordance with three main dimensions: socio-communicative (as typical forms of social acts), socio-cognitive (as frames of language and social behavior and communication) and lingual (in the meaning of the opposition ‘content/form’). The concept of genre is revealed within the framework of the approaches mentioned above. Thus, genre is a multifaceted phenomenon characterized by deep interaction and interconnection of a number of components. These components are conditioned by the situation of communication, communicative purpose and cultural peculiarities of specific genre users. These factors also influence formation and changes in genre systems. Therefore, genre manifests itself as a model / pattern of speech and is characterized by dynamic nature, which, in its turn, brings the study of invariant and variant features into the focus of genre-based research.
