“…Genre in humanities is generally referred to how texts are structured by the writers and how they are received by the readers (Frow, 2005), while genre analysis is technically used with particular disciplines such as applied linguistics (Shaw, 2016). Among other genres, research article is a widely researched area for English for academic purposes (EAP) and it continues to be the "pre-eminent genre of the academy" and "is the principal site of knowledge-making (Hyland, 2009a, p.…”

Genre studies allow researchers to observe the repeated communicative functions and their linguistic components in different genres (Brett, 1994). Writing the introduction section is a tough and burdensome task for both native and non-native speakers (Swales & Feak, 1994). Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the generic organization of English research article introductions written by native English and Iranian non-native speakers of English. A total of 160 published articles were selected from established journals in Applied Linguistics. Following Swales' (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model, the researchers analyzed the articles for their specific generic patterns. Findings displayed that native English writers used significantly more strategies than Iranian non-native speakers of English, yielding richer texts. The findings of the present study contribute to the current knowledge of cross-cultural studies in academic writing to non-native English speakers in general and to non-native English novice writers in particular. Built on Swales' (2004) CARS model, the study describes how introduction sections are developed in English by native and non-native speakers, offering insights into ESP/EAP writing pedagogy.

“…For Anne-Kathrin Reulecke, Liz Stanley, and Leigh Gilmore, the linear development of a sovereign subject inscribed in this model displays a marked gender bias, which has become naturalised, its "ideological work" rendered invisible by its realist mould. 21 As will be seen, the role accorded to genre in their criticism-as a "form of symbolic action" that "contribute[s] to the social structuring of meaning," as John Frow defines it 22 -is confirmed by the contributions to this volume.…”

Experiments in Life-Writing: Introduction

Other people's life stories fascinate us, and we seem to have an urgent need to record these stories. As writers continue to experiment with the formal and aesthetic possibilities of rendering their subjects' lives in ever new ways, the modes of writing about historical lives have diversified enormously, and continue to do so. The proliferation of public interest in accounts of historical lives in recent decades-captured by such buzzwords as "biography boom" or "memoir craze"-is reflected in the similarly expanding field of life-writing studies, as scholars regularly re-conceptualise their object of study to keep pace with the rapid evolution of life-writing forms and to incorporate the new insights their discipline has yielded. Within this context, the term "life-writing" itself has emerged to reflect the diverse work conducted in the field. It has now come to stand for a range of writings about lives or parts of lives, or which provide materials out of which lives or parts of lives are composed. These writings include not only memoir, autobiography, biography, diaries, autobiographical fiction, and biographical fiction, but also letters, writs, wills, written anecdotes, depositions, court proceedings, . . . marginalia, nonce writings, lyric poems, scientific and historical writings, and digital forms. 1

“…Genre, she emphasizes, is a "reciprocal dynamic within which individuals' actions construct and are reconstructed by recurring context of situation, context of culture and context of genres" (Devitt 2004: 31). Frow (2006: 3), on the other hand, does not consider genres as fi xed and pre-given forms, but as "performances of genre". Thus, unlike CDA, which seems to underplay the role of context, CGA is viewed as a theory of contextualisation focusing primarily on interdiscursive performance in specialised and narrowly defi ned professional, disciplinary and cultural contexts.…”

Critical Genre Analysis: Theoretical Preliminaries

Genre theory has generally focused on the analysis of generic constructs with some attention to the contexts in which such genres are produced, interpreted, and used, often giving the impression as if producing and interpreting genres is an end in itself, rather than a means to an end. As a consequence, there has been very little attention paid to professional practice, which is the ultimate objective of these discursive activities. It is thus necessary to develop a more comprehensive and multiperspective genre analytical framework to analyze interdiscursive performance in professional practice. In this paper, I propose such a multiperspective critical genre analytical framework and attempt to discuss some of the key theoretical perspectives underlying critical genre theory.
