Genre theory in the past few years has contributed immensely to our
understanding of the way discourse is used in academic,
professional and institutional contexts. However, its development
has been constrained by the nature and design of its applications,
which have invariably focused on language teaching and learning, or
communication training and consultation. This has led to the use of
simplified and idealised genres. In contrast to this, the real
world of discourse is complex, dynamic and unpredictable. This
tension between the real world of written discourse and its
representation in applied genre-based literature is the main theme
of this book. The book addresses this theme from the perspectives
of four rather different worlds: the world of reality, the world of
private intentions, the world of analysis and the world of
applications. Using examples from a range of situations including
advertising, business, academia, economics, law, book
introductions, reports, media and fundraising, Bhatia uses
discourse analysis to move genre theory away from educational
contexts and into the real world. Introduction * Overview:
