This book examines genres as instances of social processes,
enacting a range of important institutional practices, hence also
shaping people's subjectivities. Genres represent purposive and
staged ways of building means in a culture. The book's particular
claim to originality is that, using systemic functional grammar, it
demonstrates how given genres build or enact social practice, how
educational setting provide contexts in which some apprenticeship
into such genres occurs, and how theorizing about such matters
helps build a theory of social action, revealing how powerful is
the systemic functional analysis in addressing questions concerning
the social construction of reality. The discussion is built around
extensive analysis of instances of texts collected in a number of
worksites and school settings. While most are instances of written
genres, some are spoken, most notably the chapter that is devoted
to the discussion of the spoken classroom texts in which the
teaching and learning of the written genres take place.
