This book provides an introduction to genre analysis from the
perspective of the 'Sydney School' of functional linguistics.
Chapter 1 introduces our general orientation to genre from the
perspective of system and structure, and places genre within our
general model of language and social context. Chapters 2-5 deal
with five major families of genres (stories, histories, reports,
explanations and procedures), introducing a range of descriptive
tools and theoretical developments along the way. Finally in
Chapter 6 we deal with a range of issues arising for genre analysis
in a model of this kind. The book has been written for a readership
of functional linguists, discourse analysts and educational
linguists, including their post-graduate and advanced undergraduate
students.
