Shukrun-Nagar, Pnina. "Genre shifts in Israeli campaign advertisements: Strategies and rhetorical functions." Text & Talk 39, no. 2 (March 26, 2019): 261–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/text-2019-2027.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract The present article addresses genre shifts in Israeli political campaign in 2013, specifically written advertisements published in newspapers, on the Internet, on stickers, in leaflets, and on billboards. I examine shifts to diverse genres (protest slogans, writing on social networks, personal conversation, a math exercise etc.), and analyze various discursive and para-linguistic strategies by means of which these shifts are implemented: use of registers and sociolects identified with particular genres; syntactical, semantic and lexical repetitions; graphic, typographical, and visual elements, etc. I show that due to the expectations of the addressees regarding the reconstructed genres and the addressing parties, genre shifts may serve to fulfill two main pragmatic-rhetorical functions: (1) Promoting messages regarding the desired conduct of the voters during the elections; (2) Self-positioning of the parties, either to strengthen their existing image among the public or to create a new, surprising one. I thus emphasize the key role played by genre shifts in the intertextual phenomenon of integrating semiotic meanings into a linguistic text; specifically in this case, integrating cultural-societal meanings into campaign advertisements.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of the rhythm of texts of different genres: fiction novels, advertisements, scientific articles, reviews, tweets, and political articles. The authors identified lexico-grammatical figures in the texts: anaphora, epiphora, diacope, aposiopesis, etc., that are markers of the text rhythm. On their basis, statistical features were calculated that describe quantitatively and structurally these rhythm features.The resulting text model was visualized for statistical analysis using boxplots and heat maps that showed differences in the rhythm of texts of different genres. The boxplots showed that almost all genres differ from each other in terms of the overall density of rhythm features. Heatmaps showed different rhythm patterns across genres. Further, the rhythm features were successfully used to classify texts into six genres. The classification was carried out in two ways: a binary classification for each genre in order to separate a particular genre from the rest genres, and a multi-class classification of the text corpus into six genres at once. Two text corpora in English and Russian were used for the experiments. Each corpus contains 100 fiction novels, scientific articles, advertisements and tweets, 50 reviews and political articles, i.e. a total of 500 texts. The high quality of the classification with neural networks showed that rhythm features are a good marker for most genres, especially fiction. The experiments were carried out using the ProseRhythmDetector software tool for Russian and English languages. Text corpora contains 300 texts for each language.

Full textAbstract:
Every text has at least one topic and at least one genre. Evidence for a text's topic and genre comes, in part, from its lexical and syntactic features—features used in both Automatic Topic Classification and Automatic Genre Classification (AGC). Because an ideal AGC system should be stable in the face of changes in topic distribution, we assess five previously published AGC methods with respect to both performance on the same topic–genre distribution on which they were trained and stability of that performance across changes in topic–genre distribution. Our experiments lead us to conclude that (1) stability in the face of changing topical distributions should be added to the evaluation critera for new approaches to AGC, and (2) Part-of-Speech features should be considered individually when developing a high-performing, stable AGC system for a particular, possibly changing corpus.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper considers issues related to the textual organization of university lectures and the degree to which they are comprised of conventionalized text-organizational schema or genre stagings. It utilizes a dataset of video recordings and transcripts of four social science lectures which were delivered by two lecturers at a university in Japan in 2003, and offers findings which demonstrate that lecturers draw on a range of ready-made genres of the type which have been described in the so-called Sydney school genre literature and combine these conventionalized genres into genre complexes, which appear not to be conventionally or predictably ordered. The paper also offers some insights into at least one aspect of the distinction between online (spontaneous/spoken) versus offline (prepared/written) language. Specifically, it shows that lectures, as instances of spoken, apparently extemporaneous language do, to a significant degree, rely on pre-fabricated and culturally recurrent textual arrangements which the speakers draw on as they spontaneously produce the current communicative event.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to support early childhood teachers’ understanding of the diversity and sophistication present in young children’s storytelling to counteract singular and tacit conceptualizations of story. Drawing on the notion of genre, this study uses systemic functional linguistics to examine rhetorical patterns in the storytelling of a group of children in multilingual and multicultural classrooms. Stories were collected in the context of a small group storytelling activity called story circles. Participation in story circles resulted in 176 stories. Children’s stories were parsed into story stages and story genres based on functional purpose and known patterns in the grammar of language. Results show that the children told stories that varied not only in length and complexity, but in choice of story genres. Further, the majority of children employed different genres of story across the four weeks of the activity. The children in this sample used storytelling as a vehicle for giving significance to everyday experience, elevating ideas and establishing relationships in the classroom context.

Full textAbstract:
In most current work on genre, a set of genre categories needs to be predetermined. However, there are some cases where such predetermined genres cannot be clearly identified. Popular science, for instance, is a broad register carrying several specific purposes within it, suggesting that there are several genres of popular science, but it is unclear what these genres are. This paper introduces a linguistic approach to reveal hidden genres. For 600 written popular science texts from a variety of sources and disciplines, linguistic features were analysed using a range of computer programs and a cluster analysis conducted. The analysis produced four clusters with shared linguistic features, representing text types. The association of these text types with key features, functional relations, dominant sources, and prototypical members of each cluster helps us to induce genres on the basis of communicative purposes, a traditional criterion in identifying genres. Whether the produced text types are equivalent to genres was evaluated with a test set of data. The proposed approach achieves more than 70 % accuracy. The approach appears applicable for identifying genres of popular science and has pedagogical implications.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present and analyse text genres offer and authorisation/approval as unilateral text types that are mostly used for communication purposes in tourism and hospitality management. This analysis will show a specific communication model of management. The paper starts with an introduction that leads to argumentation of text within LSP and discusses the text as a tool in management of tourism and hospitality corporations and corporations in general. Further, this paper gives shortly the methodolgy of corpus description and classification of commisives. Unilateral commisives, their function and definition is discussed, and afterwards follows the analysis of text genre offer and authorisation/approval used in corporations and companies. The conclusion gives the main characteristics of unilateral text genres in corporative communication and also gives characteristics of communication models used by management. The corpus for this study includes examples of texts which are used for communication purposes in corporations. Text genres offer and authorisation/approval are characterized as unilateral text subtypes. This paper provides a linguistic analysis of the text and text genres. Every text will be analysed within three levels. Text genres are crucial for gaining success in corporate communication. Depending from the type of corporate ideology and philosophy, text genres offer and authorisation/approval show characteristics on the micro and macro structural level, they show specific vocabulary, grammatical structures and syntax in communication. Communicative function and implementation of communication in written discourse is discussed in this paper. Available sources and references on this topic are based on text linguistics and analysis of general text genres. However, little has been published and no research of text genres used in corporations (as specialized text genres) has been conducted in Croatian so far.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the present study, we sought to clarify how differences in contextualized experience influence the performance of participants engaged in genre decision-making. Using a simple learning algorithm, we ran a series of computational simulations to model the effects that context and cue competition have on the way readers of different backgrounds make genre decisions. Next, we used the results of those simulations as predictions for our behavioural genre decision experiment. Differences in test performance were strongly influenced by the factors that have long been known to influence learning: Cue competition and its embedding in a specific context jointly modulate what gets learned and that inevitably affects later performance. We discuss our findings in the context of learning and literary genres.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The development of genre-awareness is a key issue in legal translator training, as, according to research, semantic text comprehension depends largely on the recognition of genres/text types. Legal translators must be familiar with the rhetorical and textual conventions of legal genres both in the source- and the target language – the two code systems – to realise the communicative aim of the translation, and to be able to produce texts that are acceptable by the professional community. Consequently, in legal translator training the development of intercultural competence has double implications: it refers not only to the ability to transfer between legal systems, but also between legal genres. The biggest challenge of translator training is to improve skills and competences effectively through a selection of texts that realistically meet the changing needs of the translation market, but, at the same time, can be successfully adjusted to the level of proficiency attained by students at different levels of the training. Drawing on both practical experience and empirical research, the paper attempts to present a methodological scheme for the selection and grading of legal genres and text types in legal translator training, taking into account some of the functional typologies, and several other relevant aspects. With a practical approach, the selected genres are introduced in the context of exercises aimed at improving genre-transfer competence and some other skills vital for legal translators. Although the presented scheme/case study has been designed for an actual 3-semester legal translator training where students have legal degrees, it is supplemented with further methodological guidelines so that it can be adapted to other legal translator trainings of any level.

Full textAbstract:
Although research on listening skills has been frequently conducted to discover the nature of listening comprehension, there is little study about listening genre competence which is related with knowledge about listening text types. In order to find out whether listening skills and listening genre competence are related, cognitive diagnosis, a quantitative method to disclose finer-grained latent attributes, was adopted in this study. The generalized deterministic inputs, noisy “and” gate (G-DINA) model, which takes attribute compensation and attribute interaction into consideration, was used to carry out cognitive diagnostic analysis. The listening comprehension subtest of Band 4 of Test for English Majors (TEM) which is a large scale English proficiency test for English Majors in China was used as the proficiency test for homogenizing the participants. Three genres in the subtest, dialog, lecture, and news, were investigated. The 2,285 subjects were sophomore English major college students and also test-takers of the same TEM4 examination. They were chosen by random sampling from the nationwide test population in China. The study analyzed three types of relationships between listening skills and genre competence. By analyzing how mastery of certain listening text genres goes with mastery of listening skills according to latent class distribution, the coexistence relationship was discovered. By comparing the average number of skills/genres mastered when the number of genres/skills mastered increases through One-Way ANOVA, compensatory and contributory relationships were revealed. The study also found that the subjects mastering Lecture genre got higher listening scores.

Full textAbstract:
The research is based on the M. Bakhtin’s theory of the speech genres, according to which speech communication, including artistic communication, is realized through a variety of genres of speech. The artistic text is considered as a secondary speech genre, which arises in the conditions of cultural communication and in the process of its formation absorbs a variety of primary genres. The article presents the results of investigation of the plays and role of speech genres in the structure of French novel of XX c. It examines different forms of the presence of a great variety of speech genres in the novel as well as their functions. This article analyzes a semiotic character of a speech genre and interference of a speech genre and a context of a speech situation. It investigates the use by the French novelists of a speech genre for transfer implicit information.The dialogism is examined and analyzed in the text of French Novel. This phenomenon is associated with the intentional and synthetic aspects of the language: each language is associated with a certain form of the speaker, refers to a certain context and expresses the point of view and a certain world outlook. Consequently, the text of the novel may be presented as a system of different languages, as well as inserted speech genres, entering into various dialogical interactions, the functioning of which has been organized and directed by the author in accordance with their intentions.

Full textAbstract:
When we interrogate a concept like genre, there are advantages to beginning with the way we use the word in the common language. In reading a text, we “identify” or “recognize” a genre. If we attempt to define or describe a genre as such, we are engaging in an entirely different order of activity, one remarkably close to legislation or border control. To identify something assumes a paradigm with a limited set of choices. We may identify a given text differently as a “novel,” a “realist novel,” a “pastoral”; we may debate whether a work is a “novel” or a “prose romance”; but in each case we presume sets of categories on various levels of specificity, whether we deploy particular categories to confirm or surprise common expectations in our identification.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of the embedded genre is of crucial importance if we want to understand the way genres interact, within any given text, within any given genre, and in forming larger genre patterns. By discussing a tentative distinction between three kinds of embedding, “recontextualized embedding” (from Bakhtin), “contextualized embedding” (from Orlikowski & Yates), and “element genre” (from Swales and Martin), the present study initiates an unraveling of some of the intricacies involved in genre embedding. This demonstrates why genre research as well as studies of written communication can profit from integrating an expanded understanding of genre embedding in its theoretical deliberations and analytical work.

Full textAbstract:
This study takes a novel approach to the study of threatening communications by arguing that they can be characterized as a genre – a genre that generally carries strong connotations of intimidation, fear, aggression, power, and coercion. We combine the theoretical framework of Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) with results from theoretical and empirical analyses of threats to arrive at a more comprehensive perspective of threats. Since threats do not form part of any regular curriculum of genres, we designed a survey to test how recognizable they are. While scholars on threats describe threatening communications as remarkably varied in form and contextual features, the majority of our respondents categorized test items as threats without prompts of any kind, indicating that threats are a recognizable genre. We propose that threatening communications belong to a wider category of illicit genres: i.e. genres that generally disrupt and upset society and commonly affect their targets negatively. The uptakes of illicit genres are very different from those of other genres, as the users of the genres often actively avoid naming them, making uptake communities significant shapers of illicit genres. The present study contributes to research on threatening communications, since genre theory sheds light on important situational factors affecting the interpretation of a text as a threat – this is a particularly contentious question when it comes to threats that are indirectly phrased. The study also contributes to genre theory by pointing to new territory for genre scholars to examine, namely illicit genres. Studies of illicit genres also have wider, societal benefits as they shed light on different kinds of problematic rhetorical behavior that are generally considered destructive or even dangerous.

Abstract This article explores the complexity of the audio-visual text, comprised of both verbal and non-verbal components, and how this impacts upon foreign language subtitling and dubbing. Reference is made to a selection of audio-visual genres: the film, television series, news programme and documentary, in order to demonstrate the extent to which a particular genre influences translation. This article examines the interaction between language and image, between the verbal (concentrating on the spoken word) and the non-verbal (with specific reference to gesture and vocal intonation). The multi-semiotic nature of the audio-visual medium is stressed throughout.

Full textAbstract:
The object of research of this article is the types of dialogic connections that arise between speech genres inserted into the structure of a literary text, between genres and the text of a novel, between inserted genres and existing texts.
Investigated problem: This study covers several levels. Firstly, the mechanisms of artistic communication, during which the author, with the help of the speech genres present in the text, can give the reader implicit information and activate the latter's participation in the perception of the text of the novel. Secondly, the concept of intertextual relations is expanded, in the case when we consider the inserted speech genre as an independent text. Thirdly, the studied dialogic connections can be extended to other areas of communication: advertising, political, Internet communication, etc.
Main results scientific: The article is the result of the application of the theory of speech genres by M. Bakhtin to the analysis of the structure of a literary text, leading to further development of the concepts of dialogism and intertextuality.
Area of practical implementation of the research results. Intertextuality is one of the main means of creating pragmatic influence in both commercial and political advertising, media and political discourse. Moreover, it can already be argued that with the advent of the latest information technologies, society is moving from intertext to hypertext, which is typical for communication in almost all areas, since they are mediated in one way or another by computer technologies. It is this fact that explains the necessity and necessity of studying the problem of dialogism and intertextuality

It is known that the basis of any corpus is its units. Typically, texts of different genres are selected as the corpus unit to ensure the representativeness of the corpus. Therefore, when creating any language corpus, first of all, the principles of selection of texts that are part of it should be defined. Parallel corpus units consist of texts that have been translated one or more times from the original. Which topic and genre text to choose for the parallel corpus is determined by the purpose of the compiler?

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is a genological analysis of the oldest Polish-language encyclopedia, i.e. Informacyja matematyczna [Mathematical information] by Wojciech Bystrzonowski (first edition 1743). It is a continuous text divided into chapters devoted to various fields of knowledge included in the groups of topics that deal with theoretical and practical problems. This conception of text influenced its genre diversity: theoretical parts were overpowered by genres serving an informative function (e. g. description, list, index), but sometimes also a persuasive function (e. g. a treaty, a matter), while the practical parts included genres fulfilling a predominantly directive function (e. g. military regulations, instructions). The genres combining informative and ludic functions were also marginally present (e. g. Latin-language mnemotechnical poems woven into the text). Such extreme internal diversity of genres had several reasons: a) high diversity of topics, b) reference to silva rerum literary formula developed in the Baroque period, c) reference to and benefit from dozens of different studies conducted by Polish and Latin-language authors. Based on the example of selected parts of the text (e. g. descriptions), it was proved that we can observe in Bystrzonowski’s compendium a development process of a new genre, i.e. an encyclopedic entry.

Full textAbstract:
In this article a song, or more specifically, a song-and-poetry text, is presented as a literary musical piece of art displaying a number of distinctive text features. The authors define criteria for distinguishing various text manifestations. As the criteria of the text as a verbal speech product, the authors consider such main features of the text as its semiotic, structural, semantic, functional and communicative characteristics. Song-and-poetry texts of various genres, such as “rock” and “pop” are discussed in the article. They are analyzed in accord with the main features of the text. In the process of analysis, both general and distinctive features of texts of contrasting genres are revealed. By analyzing the samples of the texts belonging to rock and pop, the authors claim that while determining the text type or genre, one criterion is not enough, owing to the versatility of a text. The authors conclude that it is the combination of features of song-and-poetry texts revealed in the analysis of the aspects considered in the article that can serve the instrument for differentiating between song-and-poetry texts of various genres.

Full textAbstract:
Given the interest in the study of metadiscourse as the communication of ideas and the way people use language in different communicative situations, this paper attempted to find the degree of confluence between metadiscourse markers from different studies and to show how patterns of metadiscourse analysis based on various written genres can be applied to a wider range. The mean values for the frequency of marker use and their respective deviations were determined by comparing a significant number of studies on metadiscourse elements. To ensure comparability, those following Hyland’s model were chosen. The units of analysis were grouped into two broad categories based on discursive characteristics: Academic genres (research articles, theses, and textbooks) and non-academic genres, which included documents ranging from newspaper editorials or opinion columns to Internet texts and other forms of digital communication. The results of our study highlight that the disparity in interactive markers between academic and non-academic texts is relatively small. This difference has been identified by previous studies, and it is confirmed herein that the difference may be related to the use of academic language, the topic, or the object of study. In contrast, the mean values of the interactive markers in non-academic texts are considerably higher than those in academic texts. At the same time, the texts seem to be organised along two axes (interactional and interactive) in distinct areas. Despite our initial assumptions that the data would be subject to individual variations, that differences would be found between different sections of the same genre within the same academic discipline, and that the results would vary if certain texts were added or excluded, we observed certain trends in the behaviour of the documents, although it prevailed that, within each category, the texts should be studied individually.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an approach to classifying large web corpora into genres by means of Functional Text Dimensions (FTDs). This offers a topological approach to text typology in which the texts are described in terms of their similarity to prototype genres. The suggested set of categories is designed to be applicable to any text on the web and to be reliable in annotation practice. Interannotator agreement results show that the suggested categories produce Krippendorff's α at above 0.76. In addition to the functional space of eighteen dimensions, similarity between annotated documents can be described visually within a space of reduced dimensions obtained through t-distributed Statistical Neighbour Embedding. Reliably annotated texts also provide the basis for automatic genre classification, which can be done in each FTD, as well as as within the space of reduced dimensions. An example comparing texts from the Brown Corpus, the BNC and ukWac, a large web corpus, is provided.

The existing set of media text modifications with their numerous contexts remains largely understudied in terms of text typology. There are no complex descriptions of the types of media messages. The article raises the problem of correlation between media genres and the compositional speech forms of journalism. The author interprets compositional speech forms as complex functional textual units that structure the thought and give it integrity and completeness. Genre approaches to classifications and current media text typology issues dominate in the contemporary text linguistics, despite the fact that the genre remains its central category. The Germanic studies have accumulated enough experience to generalize the existing points of view and cover all possible journalistic representation forms (journalistische Darstellungsformen). From the standpoint of text linguistics, it is the genre variety of media proposals that confirms the priority of the term Textsorte, which covers homogeneous text classes that are hierarchically the same. This article focuses on the term Textsorte, since it covers the whole variety of media genres and fixes the hierarchical principle of the text function in the system of communicative speech classifications. Therefore, Textsorte is the main operational reference point in German genre studies and the basis for multidimensional classifications of media texts.

The purpose of this study is to characterize semantic features of synonyms usage in different types of text. We prove the hypothesis that synonymy differently implements semantic features in various types and genres of text. Our study is based on the text of the novel by A. Bely “Petersburg” and publications of various genres presented in mass media and in the Russian National Corpus. Results of the study show that the synonyms usage in the artistic text correlates with the peculiarities of the narrative and substantial organization of the text and forms the expressive, ideological content of the text. Synonyms in such texts create connectivity and semantic integrity of the text. Publicistic texts characterized by the predominance of substitution function connected with the development of text coherence. However, in certain publicistic genres, synonyms usage is capable of creating complex evaluative content of the text. In the scientific and official speech genres synonyms usage is limited, and the main method of coherence is the repetition of the same word...

Full textAbstract:
The relevance of this article is substantiated by scantiness of research dedicated to genre analysis of the text in the context of structure and composition in Crimean Tatar literature as a whole and on the example of Shakir Selim’s work “About Shamil Alyadin, Charyks and the Pocket Knife” in particular. The subject of this study is the genre analysis of the text in the context of structure and composition on the example of the indicated literary work. The goal consists in the analysis of relations between various literary-publicistic genres in the context of structure and composition of the text, rather than in the attempt to determine any specific genre and its characteristics in the literary work. The author concludes on the “ambivalent” hybrid genre form of truly emotional evocative essay with a pronounced expressiveness and literary-criticism article, and strong logical methodology. The text also contains the latent genre forms of monologue, distance dialogue, or discussion. The author begins if not a direct then reflexive dialogue with the heroes and the audience. The synthesis and interaction of different genres forms the uniqueness of the literary work, drawing attention of the reader to the ethics of literary art. The unifying genre of the work is spiritual-intellectual prose. The analysis of structural and compositional peculiarities of the literary work revealed the important, although not absolute, criteria for establishing interrelation between cognate genres, which in turn allowed identifying the main and auxiliary genre forms of the studied text.

Full textAbstract:
Classifying literary genres has always been methodologically confined to philological methods and what is commonly known as Vector Space Clustering (VSC). The problem has been exasperated with the widening gap between computational theory and traditional analysis of literary texts. Towards finding a solution to this problem, the current study utilizes a synergetic approach that brings together two established methods. First, a computational model of genre classification is drawn upon for identifying concept-based, rather than word-bound, topics, where the representation of texts is secured via the ‘bag of concepts’ (BOC) model as well as the sense-restricted knowledge and meaningful links holding between and among concepts; relatedly, the two model strands of explicit semantic analysis (ESA) and ConceptNet have enacted text classification. Second, a contextual lexical semantic approach (CRUSE, 1986, 2000) is employed so that the contextual variability of word meanings and concepts can be tackled within the confines of the target literary genres classified. The findings of present study have shown that the current composite approach of computational and semantic models has resulted in improved performance in classifying literary genres, especially with respect to delineating the links between each cluster’s document-members and generalizing about their unifying genre. Further implications have emerged from the present study, namely, the benefits reserved for digital libraries and the process of archiving, where literary-text classification has proven problematic to both users and readers in many cases.

The article outlines the semantic features of the Ukrainian language rhetorical aspect in general secondary education in terms of implementing the principle of text-centrism and the formation of students' speech and rhetorical skills. The specifics of rhetorical education of language teachers are revealed and the parameters of their readiness for teaching students of speech genres are determined, as well as the methodological features of this activity in basic language education are described. The requirements to be a discourse personality capable of realizing linguodidactic discourse in the language education of the New Ukrainian School, and to be competent in the implementation of pedagogical communication genres are substantiated. The model curriculum in the Ukrainian language in the context of mastering speech genres with the use of different types of students’ educational activities (organizational, cognitive, speech, text) and focusing on the formation of expected meta-subject results in accordance with the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education was analyzed. The definition of the «speech genre» concept in linguodidactics is given, a proposal is made for the linguopragmatic transformation of the established classification of speech genres (information genres, genres of influence, information and influential genres). Examples of exercises and learning tasks for mastering speech genres at the Ukrainian language lessons at the adaptation stage of language education in the New Ukrainian School are given.

Full textAbstract:
Readability assessment can play a role in the evaluation of a simplification algorithm as well as in the identification of what to simplify. While some previous research used traditional readability formulas to evaluate text simplification, there is little research into the utility of readability assessment for identifying and analyzing sentence level targets for text simplification. We explore this aspect in our paper by first constructing a readability model that is generalizable across corpora and across genres and later adapting this model to make sentence-level readability judgments. First, we report on experiments establishing that the readability model integrating a broad range of linguistic features works well at a document level, performing on par with the best systems on a standard test corpus. Next, the model is confirmed to be transferable to different text genres. Moving from documents to sentences, we investigate the model’s ability to correctly identify the difference in reading level between a sentence and its human simplified version. We conclude that readability models can be useful for identifying simplification targets for human writers and for evaluating machine generated simplifications.

PURPOSE/THESIS: The article is intended to present some opportunities to apply the text genres theory, transaction theory and cognitive schemata theory in the Information organization. The text genre should be understood here as a mental schema developed and distributed as a result of repeatable transactions with the text. The bibliographic (catalog) record can be treated as a text of a specified genre, which enables the scientists to research the social transactions both between the text and the author (information organizer, librarian) and the text and the recipient (information system user, library). All research presented in the article may be helpful to describe changes in transactions related to the changes in information technologies. METHODS: The article contains the description of changes to the transactions of information organization resulting from the application of new information technologies, that is the transformation of bibliographic record text into cybertext and their genres into cybergenres. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Any changes to the technologies used in the information organization lead to the development and enhancement of the users transactions with the text of the record in order to increase the search capabilities and simplify the methods of transaction implementation. ORIGINALITY/COGNITIVE VALUE: The approaches presented in the article are based on the theories of: cognitive schemata (constructivism), text genres (Miller and Andersen) and transactions (Dewey, Rosenblatt), applied in the analysis of bibliographic (catalog) records, treated as texts built in a specified convention arising from the repeatable transactions between information organizers and users. This point of view helps place those texts in an appropriate place among texts present in the scientific discourse.

In the activity of military translator much emphasis is put on the work with professionally-related texts. The article deals with the description of military aviation news texts in a foreign media discourse. On the basis of inter-discipline approach a news text is defined as a genre-stylistic variety of a media-text and discourse, as well as its distinctive features and criteria for analysis are described. According to the results of research news texts of military discourse are represented by informative and informative-analytical genres. Informative genres include military headline, breaking news, daily report and informative article; informative-analytical ones comprise analytical article, review and commentary. The article focuses on typological features of distinguished genres, including their functional purpose, structure and composition, content and lexical manifestation. Conclusion has been made that media environment has an impact on genre features of news texts with the aim to influence development of political views of the readers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The present article proposes a methodology for writing genre history that does not proceed from »always already« existing generic norms, but rather describes the processes through which genres and their conventions emerge in the first place. Scholars in the field have long been calling for a mediation between (systematic) genre theory and the (historical) exploration of genres – i. e., generic historiography (see Lamping 2007; Neumann/Nünning 2007). So far, however, the solutions proposed have been classificatory in nature, and have mainly been concerned with taking into account the historical diversity of genres more fully than had previously been done (Hempfer 1973; Fricke 1981). The theoretical and methodological questions raised by genre historiography regarding the emergence and transformation of genres, by contrast, have hardly ever been the focus of sustained enquiry, despite the fact that a historically adequate approach to the history of genres – meaning an approach not based on classificatory models – remains a desideratum to this day. Most contributions to the historiography of genre thus far make use of prototype theory or draw on scholarship analyzing schemata and patterns in order to identify genre norms in their historical setting and describe the correspondences with (and/or deviations from) those norms which may be observed in a given text. Yet the methodological problem here is that, ordinarily, prototype-theoretical and schema-oriented approaches raise systematic rather than historical claims. Thus, a »prototype« is understood to be an abstract, ideal model which might never have been realized historically but is still considered the most »typical« exemplar of a given genre whose individual, concrete manifestations may be described as placed along a scale of relative similarity with that exemplar (Tophinke 1997). By adopting such a perspective, the texts belonging to a certain genre may be categorized without having to draw »hard« (i. e., feature-based) boundaries. However, comparing a single text with an ideal model affords hardly any surplus value regarding the question of the origin and change of genres. Being an ideal model, after all, the prototype is constructed a posteriori, on the basis of all available texts assigned to a given genre; it has never served as an actual point of reference for the production or reception of individual texts in their historical context. A similar methodological difficulty arises with a view to scholarship on schemata and patterns, in that these are usually abstracted from all texts belonging to a given genre (like prototypes) or else are fashioned on the model of supposed »masterpieces«, which all but invalidates their explanatory power in a historical context (Schulz 2012). For the historiography of genres, however, one question of particular interest is a question treated only marginally in scholarship on prototypes and schemata. This is the question of how precisely literary speech acts (Warning 1996) – i. e., certain types of literary representation or the treatment of certain kinds of content – are conventionalized and are thus gradually turned into instances of expectable patterns: patterns to be expected, that is, both on the side of production and of reception. Some scholars answer this question by reference to »normative« works which, they claim, serve as »signposts« for the subsequent production and reception of texts (Voßkamp 1977; Gymnich 2010a). The problem with this position, however, is that it assigns to individual texts an unconditional authority, even though the binding conventionality and literary prestige of any given text only emerges over the course of literary or generic history (Strohschneider 1991). One defining purpose of genre historiography is to describe precisely those processes through which certain literary forms and topics become conventional in the first place – to the extent that any attempt, on the part of scholars, to identify supposedly »pioneering« or »authoritative« works is in stark contradiction to an historical approach to genres. At the same time, research on the history of genres simply cannot start from stable norms or ideal models, which is why it is precisely the constant changes to be observed in the conventional validity of literary speech acts that should be exposed and emphasized. In fact, the notion of »convention« is crucial to the approach proposed in this article, since conventions – different in this respect from norms or rules – do not arise as the result of (allegedly) authoritative postulates but rather establish themselves, over time, through communal agreement (Weninger 1994). The formation of conventions may be traced by analyzing intertextual references to literary speech acts: if a given text refers to a certain type of literary representation – either in order to reproduce it faithfully or to present alternatives to it –, this reference is selected from a wide array of options for referencing, and is thus recognized as being »worthy of reference«. Constant reference to the same (or similar) literary speech acts then leads to the emergence of a corresponding convention, whose validity, however, is itself subject to change: If intertextual relations change in such a way that the type of literary speech act previously conventionalized is no longer chosen for reference – and is disregarded, in fact, in favour of alternative topics or modes of representation –, this will result in an observable change in conventionality. After all, whatever is considered conventional is determined by intertextual processes of consensus-building, and is thus in a permanent state of renegotiation. The concrete methodological approach of the present article starts, therefore, from an analysis of intertextual references, insofar as the processes of conventionalization relevant to the historiography of genres can be traced by examining references between individual texts. If one focuses on the question of how genres – and the conventions governing them – arise, the notion of »single-text reference« is preferable to that of »systemic reference«. After all, »systemic reference« denotes the reference of a given text to an established system and thus already presupposes a genre and its systemic norms – elements not available at the outset of a genre’s history. Rather, any truly historical historiography of genres must strive to demonstrate how a set of literary speech acts gradually (by way of intertextual single-text references) forms a system whose conventions may later be referenced. The formation processes of individual genres may therefore be reconstructed by examining the intertextual single-text references that contribute to the conventionalization of literary speech acts and ultimately form a system in contrast to other literary forms of representation. The present article thus focuses on the Gewordensein – the quality of having become or fundamental »madeness« – of genres as subject to constant historical change. At the same time, it proposes a method for adequately tracing genre emergence and change through the analysis of intertextual references and dynamic processes of conventionalization.

Full textAbstract:
The article defines the methodological problems of constructing a model of the speech genre and suggests the way of solving them. The existing models of Text – Text components – Genre type are recognized as the main tool for the study and description of speech genres. It is argued that the speech genre description methodology in modern linguistics should be focused on the ideas of systematic construction. The principles of text analysis in the aspect of speech genre studies are determined and some errors of scientifically employed approaches are identified. The elimination of these errors will allow genre studies to shift to a new methodological principle of constructing a genre model that has a diagnostic potential. The current problematic issues of genre studies are formulated. As a productive technology for describing a speech genre, we propose a universal method of functional modelling, which will enable designing genres and their modules on the basis of regularity, obligation, and oppositional character. In order to solve the problem of genre description in the attributive aspect, that is, to determine its units, it is productive to analyze the genre applying the so-called communicative semiotic model, as well as the method of transformational-and-oppositional analysis. The proposed principle of genre description is postulated as a method of objective modelling. Thus, within the framework of this study, the analysis of the theoretical problems of modern genre studies is carried out, the objectives of speech genres investigation are formulated and the approaches to their achieving are presented in an overview.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The title of the literary text arises in front of a researcher in two capacities. First – as one of the elements of metatext level, immediately aimed at the close interrelation with the main text, and second – as a separate text structure with its own grammar and semantic structure. The analysis of the title in the interrelation with the main text, taking into consideration genre specifics of the latest, is of immediate interest. Purpose. The target of this study is to describe the title text in the Ukrainian sonnet poem, in particular in the correlation with the integral text structure, which is caused by the absence of any specific research of this problem.Methods. Research approach of the title text as a separate unit and as a constructive element of the wider text structure relies on the basics of classification description, contextual and hermeneutic analysis in the system of literary text.Results. The title of the sonnet poem, generally not falling out of the paradigm of the paratextual formations, on the functional level is characterized by certain particularities compared to other lyric and epic genres – where it can serve, for instance, as a genre self-name of the poem. On the structure level the sonnet marker can start or finish the composite word, serve as an attribute noun in the attributive word combination, play a role of the key word with the dependent substantive etc. The title (together with subtitle or without it) is able to attribute thematic and semantic lines in the poem, some structure and genre changes.Conclusion. The title of the sonnet text, being a paratext element, accomplishes an important prospect and retrospect function for comprehension of the integral structure of the literary text; can serve as genre self-name of the poem, involving at the same time different thematic layers of narration; can also point at some structure and genre modifications of the classic sonnet, and some shifts to other traditional genres.

Недостаточная изученность коммуникативно-прагматических свойств издательского дискурса и относящихся к нему дискурсивных жанров определяет потребность в изучении книжной аннотации. Расширение границ современного лингвистического знания и нарастающая специализация лингвистических исследований предопределили включение в научный оборот понятия «продвигающий текст», к которому относится книжная аннотация. Аннотация на обложке рассматривается как самостоятельный жанр в издательском дискурсе, имеющий смешанный характер. Его прагматика заключается в эмоциональном и рациональном воздействии на потенциального читателя. Результаты изучения книжной аннотации недостаточны для того, чтобы установить типологические характеристики обложечной аннотации как продвигающего текста. Проблема, решаемая в исследовании, состоит в восполнении существующего пробела в знании об основных ее структурных и содержательных особенностях. Цель исследования заключается в создании типологической модели аннотации на материале текстов, размещенных на обложках произведений художественной литературы, изданных на русском и английском языках и предназначенных для массового читателя. В работе использован текстологический метод, включающий изучение и интерпретацию текстов аннотаций. В результате исследования установлены такие типологические характеристики обложечной аннотации, как локация, интертекстуальность, информативность и модальность. Sparse knowledge about communicative and pragmatic characteristics of publishing discourse and genres relating to it predetermines current studies of various types and genres of an abstract. Blurb is considered as independent publishing genre of mixed nature. It is intended to have an emotional and rational impact on prospective reader. So far, blurbs have been analyzed mainly from the point of view of stylistic means employed by their authors. The problem is that knowledge of typological features of a blurb is scarce and haphazard. This knowledge gap should be filled with research of English and Russian blurbs in the back pages of fiction books published by Penguin Random House and Eksmo-Ast publishing group. The purpose of the study is to create a typological model of a blurb as a promotional text. To achieve this goal a text analysis is employed, which includes examination of blurb texts and their interpretation. The result of the research is the model of a blurb that includes location, intertextuality, informativeness and modality as its typological constituents.

Full textAbstract:
On the definition of genre of Dostoevsky's works. The article mostly addresses Dostoevsk's own definitions of genres of his works, either explicated in the texts (subtitles, prefaces) or contained in the writer's letters; or rather the relationship between the scholarly strategies of defining genres and the writer's own view, as evidenced. by subtitles which, in some sense, are part of the text (in nearly, but not precisely, the same way as the titles themselves are). The writer's own definitions, then, can be regarded as possible objects of the scholarly interpretation. Agreement, or lack thereof, between the author's and the scholars' definitions may be due both to similarity vs dissimilarity between the definition standards inherent in the respective epochs and to specific interpretation aspects. In the latter case, agreement is more cornman in studies focusing on vastly different problems unrelated to genre, whereas disagreement is more frequent in studies concerned with the genres of Dostoevsky's works. One of the reasons why his own definitions must be critically revisited is that certain titles of his workscan be basically viewed as subtitles or genre definitions insofar as they in some way define the variety of the text regardless of the underlying criterion: narrative, "discourse", type of source, genre, or genre variety. Indeed, both these subtitles and, sometimes, the writer's own genre definitions tum out to be pretense, an imitation of "standard" subtitles or genre definitions, respectively. Titles themselves sometimes look like subtitles, thus "exposing the device" and demonstrating this mimicry not merely by violating semantic and syntactic relations in the case of subtitles (sign/name/title/ subtitle and virtual reference/"reality" of text - and relationships such as those between title and subtitle; title and the principal text; and subtitle and principal text), but also by the fact that their position is "marked". Dostoevsky not just failed to follow his own "final genre definitions" within the text, as reflected in the subtitles, and not just changed them repeatedly in his letters, but in the official documents, too, he sometimes defined genres in a way which did not agree with either the subtitles or his own definitions given in his letters.Dostoevsky frequently changed the genre definitions not merely during his work on a text, which would be only natural, and not merely many years after it had been completed, published, revised, and republished (which might be ascribed to memory errors), but also shortly after the completed manuscript had been shipped to the publishers or after the text had been published or republished. While the logic underlying these changes must be studied and interpreted, it is evident that the scholars are often unable to accept the author's own "final genre definitions" both because these are often unavailable in subtitles, and because of the "Proteic" nature of their use by the writer in various contexts.

AbstractBased on Bhatia’s multi-dimensional analytical framework for discourse analysis, we explore key issues involved in genres construction such as private intention, manipulation of generic value and interdiscursive strategies. Two prefaces and two book reviews by expert linguists were collected and analyzed at great length from both text-internal and text-external perspectives. Meanwhile, four professionals from relevant disciplines were interviewed for their insights into the issues investigated. Through examining textual features, covert interdiscursivity and narrative accounts of the professional writers, the following findings are generated. 1) Generic variation occurs within and between the two genres due to expert writers’ intentional manipulation of generic value. 2) Interdiscursive strategies like “genre embedding”, “genre bending” and “genre mixing” are exploited by expert writers to achieve their particular private intention. Specifically, preface genre can be presented, to some extent, as a research article mixed with some promotional flavor, and features of research article genre, promotional genre and introductory genre are found mixed in the review genre. 3) Representations of the preface and book review genres such as linguistic feature, move structure and interdiscursivity are ultimately affected by generic value, authors’ private intention, professional practice and disciplinary culture. The findings have important implications for ESP/EAP writing practitioners and learners.

Full textAbstract:
The paper deals with culture generating texts treated as speech products corresponding to dominant features of civilization in cultural history. Three types of such texts - sacral regulations, mass circulation products and virtual net messages - have radically changed the idea of authorship and corresponding attitudes of public to texts. The first text type brought to life selected priests who were regarded as keepers of sacral knowledge to be transmitted to coming generations, the second text type initiated numerous artisans who produced various one-time texts suitable for everyday purposes, the third text type generated illusionists who launch secondary texts through the world electronic network for the sake of carnival play with life. The characteristics of three types of text as indicators of culture have been described on the material of aphorisms. Autosemantic sentences of the first type are usually expressed as manifestations of general truth or common norms of behavior, the second type phrases function as trivial observations or specific recommendations in particular situations, whereas the third type texts have a paradoxical nature or are used as banter expressions uttered to fill the gaps in conversation. Sentences of the first type make the core golden reserve of human wisdom, and they are often used in situations of social inequality when people demonstrate their experience and right to give lessons to others. Sentences of the second type are very important for everyday routine life, and they appear in corresponding habitual situations. Sentences of the third type are applied mainly in interactions which require a critical reaction to any type of edification, either moral or utilitarian, their aim is to establish equality as such by means of ridicule of any kind of self-admiration.
