genres, and the role of English within the genres. Theoretical and
methodological issues are explored, with a special emphasis on
various metaphors of genre. The book is full of carefully worded
detail and each chapter ends with suggestions for pedagogical
practice. The volume closes with evaluations of contrastive
rhetoric, applied corpus linguistics, and critical approaches to
EAP. Research Genres provides a rich and scholarly account of this
