Full textAbstract:
"Some peculiarities of genre interaction are considered (based on the symphonic creativity of a modern Ukrainian composer – Yevhen Petrychenko). It was found out that the symphony genre is open to various interactions, resulting in complex genre hybrids that allow the symphony to realize all its potential and extend the “life” of the genre. It has been proved that the awareness of the peculiarities of the genre hybrid is possible only at the level of seperate works and is situational. Two types of interactions that characterize genre hybrids are identified. This is an equal combination of genres, which is reflected in the genre name and the superiority of one genre with the scattered manifestation of the characteristics of other genres. It was revealed that Symphony No.1 “Requiem” by Petrychenko demonstrates the first type of genre interaction, because it combines genre features of symphony, suite, requiem and quartet, in which the dominant genre role is played by symphony, features of other genres are sporadic and subordinate to laws of symphony genre. The first chamber symphony also belongs to the first type of genre interaction, but shows minimal influence of other genres, due to the complexity of the chamber symphony genre. At the same time, in the Symphony “Antitheses” the genres of symphony, cantata and vocal cycle interact, which is reflected in the genre denotation (vocal symphony), principles of development, form and drama of the work. The prospects of research of genre hybrid forms open ways to the comprehension of features of modern academic music. Keywords: symphony, genre hybrid, genre interaction, the symphonic creativity of Yevhen Petrychenko, Ukrainian music, modern academical music. "

Full textAbstract:
In this article the problem of functional genre, which is an important issue in folklore studies, is studied scientifically and theoretically. The formation of a new genre as a result of the process of deriving a genre from a genre has been brought to attention on the basis of specific texts. These genres are called functional genres and it has been considered on the basis of which specifics functionalize the genres such as “bayati”, “gerayli”, “goshma”, “temsil” and fairy tales. Thus, it was initially noted that the genre of “bayati” (quatrain) is not a specific genre, like many other genres, but, in fact, a literary formula. Because many genres are formed on the basis of the genre “bayati”. Among them are quatrains, lullabies, folk songs, ceremonial songs, elegy and other folklore genres are studied in the article and brought to the attention, due to this functionality, even before it was also considered that it was called a literary kind by A. Abid. In particular, it has been observed that the genres created on the basis of “bayati” are widely included in the ceremonial folklore and from the genres of “bayati” forms created in this direction such as wishes, lullabies, Novruz songs, beliefs, occasions, religious holidays, laments, etc. have been looked through. As a functional genre “garayli” like the genre “bayati” has been put forward as a new problem in theoretical and methodological research and garayli, folk songs and important parts of epics, which appeared on the basis of the genre garayli can serve as an example of it as the main genre component. In the article the genre “goshma” is also studied as a functional genre. So, on the basis of this genre “goshma”, “tajnis”, the verse part of epics, “ustadname”, “vujudname”, “gifilbend”, “baghlama” and other genres were formed. Fables have also been brought to the attention as a functional genre, such as representation derived from this genre, allegorical narrative, examples that arise in written and oral literature, etc. can be examples for it. At the same time the representation is manifested both in fairy tales and the fairy tale itself has spawned many genres from itself. The genres of fairy tales, garavelli, anecdotes, jokes and other genres have been reviewed. The theoretical problem proposed in the study is rich in important innovations for the scientific community.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines what a translingual orientation offers to the study and teaching of genre, in particular what we gain when we think of genre difference not as a deviation from a patterned norm but rather as the norm of all genre performance. A translingual perspective draws our attention to genre uptake as a site of transaction where memory, language, and other semiotic resources, genre knowledge, and meanings are translated and negotiated across genres, modalities, and contexts. Focusing on genre uptake performances shifts attention from genre conventions to the interplays between genres where agency is in constant play.

Full textAbstract:
Many genre scholars have focused on how individuals might build genre knowledge, generally understood as the enculturation processes, gradual stages, or ingredients that lead to one’s facility with a genre in context. While genre knowledge describes whether people can engage genres, it does not describe the various factors that shape how people may engage genres. By consolidating scholarship across Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS), this article characterizes genre access as the power, opportunity, permission, and/or right to engage genre. Furthermore, this article integrates Network Gatekeeping Theory to develop a micro-level analytical approach for explicitly describing genre access. The author demonstrates and develops genre access as a concept and analytical approach with an illustrative example from a larger ethnographic project. Specifically, this illustrative example explores genre access for the Staff Report, a common genre in local government that proposes recommendations from individual departments to their elected City Commissioners for voted approval. Overall, the purpose of this article is (1) to consolidate and extend RGS’s exploration of the power, opportunity, permission, and/or right to engage genres; (2) to identify and name genre access as a fundamental aspect of how genres work; and (3) to provide a micro-level analytical language for researchers to tease out the various factors the shape genre access.

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on the topic of genre formation in Soviet journalism, and how genres have developed in the contemporary Russian mass media. The author is of the view that journalistic genres developed intuitively, rather than on the basis of a thorough investigation of the typology of mass media texts, and therefore bear all the hallmarks of a professional agreement. These practical, formally logical standards have no basis in scholarship, and as a result many publications dealing with questions of journalistic genres have no connection with the theory of journalism. They merely serve the «commonly accepted professional view» of the form that texts should take. This explains why there is continual discussion of the interaction, diffusion, mimicry and changes in the «identified genres» in a situation where there are no grounds for distinguishing between them, or fixed criteria for defining them. Introducing American forms of journalistic texts into the Russian genre system leads to an even greater entropy of established concepts. Concentrating on the study of the genre forms of journalistic texts in journalism education often hinders students in the acquisition of the habit of writing materials on specific thematic issues.

Full textAbstract:
The article raises the problem of the metadisciplinary interpretation of the term “genre”, which can be equally well defined as a nomadic concept or as an artistic universal. The author focuses on the question of the configuration of features defining the concept of genre in philology, art history, and musicology. Taking as a basis the general aesthetic principles of genre specification – functional, thematic, and structural – the author analyzes their genre-forming potential in various artistic forms and comes to the conclusion that understanding genre as a communicative and formally meaningful category provides an interdisciplinary dialogue, but at the same time, genre dominants can be different. For speech genres, such a dominant is a communicative goal, for painting genres – a subject content. The semantic parameter of the genre is interpreted in a similar way in literary criticism and musicology. The division into primary and secondary genres is a common feature for both philology and musicology. The structural parameter includes compositional features and elements of genre style, and the specific weight of this parameter is especially high in canonical (protoliterary and literary) and primary musical genres. The meaning of the structural features of the genre is inversely proportional to the visualization of an artistic form. This parameter is least significant for the genre identification of a painting.

Kajian ini bertujuan mendeskripsi capaian genre tulis oleh pembelajar sekolah (SD, SMP, SMA) di Sumatera Utara (selanjutnya dirujuk sebagai pembelajar SU) dan mengajukan model pembelajaran berdasarkan genre-based language learning yang sejalan dengan Kurikulum 2013. Desain penelitian adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Sumber data adalah 1025 pembelajar dan 18 orang guru, yang terdiri atas guru SD, SMP, dan SMA serta orang tua pembelajar dari sekolah-sekolah itu. Data kajian ini ialah teks atau genre yang ditulis pembelajar SU, deskripsi pembelajaran genre di kelas, dan transkripsi wawancara dengan guru dan orang tua. Teks yang ditulis pembelajar dianalisis dengan menggunakan teori linguistik fungsional sistemik (LFS). Temuan penelitian adalah pertama, pembelajar SU telah memeroleh dan mampu menulis 10 jenis genre tunggal, yakni deskripsi, laporan, recount, narasi, anekdot, exemplum, observasi, prosedur, eksposisi, dan diskusi dan mereka mampu menulis genre majemuk. Kedua, ditemukan bahwa sebagian unsur konteks sosial persekolahan berupa keterbatasan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan guru tentang genre dan pembelajaran berbasis teks telah menjadi penghambat dalam pembelajaran menulis genre. Ketiga, berkaitan dengan itu model pembelajaran genre dapat dikembangkan. Model pembelajaran genre tulis yang dikembangkan merupakan gabungan dari genre-based language learning dan pendekatan ilmiah yang menjadi ciri utama Kurikulum 2013. Model ini efektif untuk pembelajaran genre tulis.The objectives of the study are to describe writting genres acquired by primary school (SD), junior school (SMP) and high school (SMA) learners in North Sumatera province (referred to as SU learners) and to propose a genre-based language learning model in accordance with the 2013 Curriculum. This study is a qualitative one. The subjects are 1025 learners, 18 teachers (SD, SMP, and SMA teachers), and school learners parents. The data are written texts or written genre composed by the SU learners, descriptions of genre learning in the classroom, teachers and parents interview transcriptions. The written genres by the learners are analyzed by using systemic functional linguistics (SFL) theories. The findings show that firstly, the SU learners have already acquired and been able to write ten kinds of basic genres, namely description, report, recount, narrative, anecdote, exemplum, observation, procedure, exposition, and discussion. Furthermore, the SU learnes have mastered multiple genres. Secondly, some school social context elements, such as the lack of teachers competence and skill on genres and text-based learning become obstacles for writing genre teaching. Thirdly, related to the acquired genres by the learners and obstacles from the school context, a model for genre learning is developed. The developed writing genre learning is a combination of the genre-based language learning and scientific approach as main characteristic of the 2013 Curriculum. The learning model is effective for writting genre learning.

Full textAbstract:
Genre theories determine that texts no longer belong to a single genre but can be included into various genres. As the borders of genres become more indistinct, interaction between genres are observed to increase. The presence of common discursive codes of genres helps authors be freed of the limits of a single genre, which enables the same texts to be read within the scope of various genres. In addition, genre differentiations with traditional strict rules are replaced with discursive genres that can change with new invented ones according to each text. The determination of usage values of genres or literary works makes the genre to which they belong increasingly more significant. Within this context, reading literary works as dynamic structures including discursive features of different genres rather than belonging to a single genre enables these works to be understood better. It also contributes to test the validity of the extent to which genre theories has reached so far. The present article reads the novel Yeşil Elmalar, which is regarded as an unadmired detective fiction, as a novel reflecting the characteristics of both crime/detective and mystery fiction. The aforementioned novel is examined under the light of characteristics taken from both detective and mystery literature, and its repetitive codes especially as weird and eerie are stressed over the examples taken from the text.

Full textAbstract:
The article reflects the scientific fate of the main genre model – the “questionnaire of the speech genre” of T. V. Shmeleva. The author discusses the reasons for the high demand for the “questionnaire” in genre studies: the parameters of the “questionnaire” affect the most important aspects, the “pain points” of the genre; the formal simplicity and consistency of the “questionnaire”. Along with the advantages and achievements (the article gives their brief description), the author points to a few critical issues concerning the “questionnaire”: the lack of items of the “questionnaire” (the juxtaposition of primary and secondary speech genres, direct and indirect speech genres, speech and rhetorical genres, cultural characteristics of speech genres, etc. are not presented in it) and its crucial points which are not commonly recognized, i.e. the ranking points of the “questionnaire”. In relation to modern genre studies, the article deals with the items that either should be or can be, or have already been added to the “questionnaire”, as well as the theoretical justification of their relations, which, according to the author of the article, will allow to clarify some other items of the “questionnaire”. The emphasis is on those points that are less spelled out in the “canonical” “questionnaire”, but that should be used for a more adequate study of genres (especially new ones), and are already actually used. The discussion focuses on the following points: typological, including the stadial-typological and historical-etymological, features of speech genres; determination of the place of the genre in the structural-hierarchical typology; cultural, linguistic and linguocultural characteristics of speech genres; characteristics of the communicative concept, through which the genre is presented and interpreted, and its components; the ability of the genre to form its variants; corpus and quantitative characteristics of speech genre; online genres.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to Rodion Shchedrin's genre experiments in the last two decades. During this time, the composer has created a large number of works covering many typical genres, mixed compositions and new, original musical genres. Among them are operas (4), concerts (5), a concert symphony, piano cycles (4), a vocal cycle, a sonatina, variations, numerous program orchestral and chamber-instrumental compositions, choral miniatures and cycles. At the same time, none of these areas of creativity looks traditional in the catalog of Shchedrin's opuses of recent decades. The article examines the author's versions of the concert genre, interesting varieties of opera genres from the composer's viewpoint, unusual interpretation of the vocal cycle genre and mass, musical interpretation of the Russian folk proverbs, as well as genre modulations; it emphasizes original varieties of symphonic program music, such as a symphonic or dramatic fragment, symphonic etudes, symphonic fresco. In exploring Shchedrin's innovations in the genre sphere, the author analyzes genres or genre varieties that were created by him and have not previously appeared in the works of composers. These are the genres of musical hagiography (choral opera "Boyarynya Morozova"), musical reading ("Adventures of a Monkey"), musical proverb (choral cycle "Proverbs"). As a result of the study, it is concluded that Shchedrin's mobile genre system can only be considered in terms of the mobile interaction of intersecting genre signs.

Full textAbstract:
This is the second article in a cycle on the connection between genre studies and linguistics. The previous article discussed the question “What have genre studies given to linguistics?” This article focuses on linguistic methods used in speech genres theory: more traditional for linguistics, starting with the descriptive method and its later varieties – structural – and less traditional (component analysis, the method of immediate constituents, the generative method, the method of describing external and deep content structures, the method of semantic fields). Speech genres theory is studied in relation to linguistic paradigms. The most significant for speech genres theory is the turn in linguistics from the study of the language only to the study of speech (discourse), and thus – the recognition of the presence of a specific systematic nature of speech. Besides, speech genres theory is analyzed in connection with traditional linguistic directions: syntactic theory and methodology are used in the study of the composition of speech genres, lexicology and semantics – in the study of the names of speech genres. The major focus is on the modern period when new areas of linguistics and speech genres theory emerge simultaneously (Internet linguistics and Internet genre studies). The article also discusses division of linguistic disciplines in connection both with the speech genre division of language (structural, diachronic, functional) and with the division of genre studies (structure of the speech genres, classification of speech genres, sociology of speech genres, psychology of speech genres and genre thinking, cognitive and culturological aspects of speech genres). The role of speech genres theory in the division of linguistic disciplines into deductive and inductive is also discussed. The article appreciates the role of several outstanding linguists in the development of speech genres theory. In addition, the author briefly touches upon the connection between genre studies and literary studies: in the study of literary texts and genres they converge.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with genrogenic situations (GgS), i.e. situations marked by speech genres, indicative of the representation of a particular speech genre in a given national culture. The G gS as a cognitive image corresponding to a speech genre in the human mind includes, on the one hand, a set of components of a communication situation, necessary and sufficient for the generation of this genre, and, on the other hand, the memory of the GgS, real or reconstructed (by writers, psychologists), in which this genre was generated and developed. These factors determine the theory and practice of speech genres methodology based on GgS: it, unlike the theory of speech genres in general, has a more distinct applied focus: namely, it is focused on GgS and the compilation of an anthology/encyclopedia of GgS. This technique includes two aspects: firstly, a model according to which GgS are isolated from the speech continuum and systematized (GgS as a model of article structure); secondly, a model according to which speech genres are studied using the material of the GgS and taking into account their characteristics (model of filling the «body» of articles with the material). Much attention is paid to reflection (by communication specialists, word artists, journalists, bloggers) on G gS and genres themselves. The article also considers more general aspects of the GgS, their place in speech genres theory and linguistic pragmatics in general: GgS and the integral description of speech genres, GgS and genre role scenes, G gS and speech genre primary-secondary nature, GgS and the relationship between invariant and prototype approaches to the study of text and genre, GgS and speech genre variantology. As an illustration of the discussed approach the author offers GgS for speech genre boltovnya ‘≈chatter’.

Using the genre perspective, we studied the electronic communication of knowledge users collaborating on a movie community and found that their work and interactions were mediated by the use of genres. Drawing on these findings, we develop the concept of genre repertoire to designate the set of genres enacted by groups, organizations, or communities to accomplish their work. Automatic discourse classification according to genre in social information sharing, transfer and knowledge communication provides a higher level of service quality. By investigating user behavior in movie community, the relationship between intertextuality of discourse genre and user behavior was studied. We denoted genre by using vector, and discourse genre intertextuality intensity is measured with vector distance. And for those discourse which genre is unknown, genre intertextuality is calculated using user behavior. The results show that user various behaviors stickiness in movie community and discourse genre intertextuality intensity have potential common features.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a case for a genre-based approach to research into online communication. Questions about the appropriateness and extensiveness of research-based guidelines for communicating online exist. These questions include the appropriateness of transferring guidelines from research on print communication online without first re-verifying them, the appropriateness of generalizing conclusions from context-based, small sample-sized usabilty studies, the extent of generalizability of empirical studies, and the limited scope of guidelines that focus almost exclusively on physical features of text. Genre – ‘a familiar pattern, a way of organizing information that has become so common that readers will probably recognize each new instance as belonging to the genre’ (Price & Price, 2002:272) – provides an alternative, contextually-based approach. It is a useful context because most online communication occurs within the confines of a specific genre and, as genres become more common, users develop expectations about the type of content presented and the format of its presentation. Three methods can help researchers understand the nature of online genres: (1) discourse analysis helps researchers identify the features of a genre, (2) usability studies help researchers assess whether the features promote effective user performance (and, if so, how), and (3) design team research identifies why features were included and which other alternatives were considered, rejected, and why. An effective study of genre uses all three. Focusing on genre, too, allows researchers within sub-disciplines of communication to focus their work on their areas of specialty.

Full textAbstract:
En Chine, la permanence de l’éthique confucéenne perpétue un ordre hiérarchique et hétéronormatif des genres qui a des conséquences importantes sur la subordination des femmes, dans une société dominée par les hommes. Cet ordre traditionnel des genres continue à influer sur les politiques publiques et les dynamiques familiales. Quelle que soit leur orientation sexuelle, les Chinoises et les Chinois sont continuellement confrontés à cette structure normative dans leur vie quotidienne et contraints de composer avec elle. Notre étude s’attache à éclairer la permanence de cette structure de genres, notamment son intersection avec les aspirations de la classe moyenne, à travers l’examen d’une des professions les plus féminisées en Chine, l’enseignement. Nous utilisons le genre et la classe sociale comme les principaux outils analytiques pour comprendre la manière dont les enseignantes effectuent des choix de carrière et de mariage en fonction de leurs aspirations à devenir membres de la classe moyenne. Ce faisant, nous réintroduisons la notion de classe, un aspect souvent négligé dans l’analyse des disparités liées au genre en Chine. En outre, nous soulignons l’importance d’une analyse genrée de classe dans les débats contemporains sur les questions relatives au travail, en mettant en évidence le rôle central de la structure hétéronormative de genre dans la formation d’inégalités pluridimensionnelles dans la Chine d’aujourd’hui.

Globalisation has produced not only denser, but also linguistically more complex communication networks. Multilingual practices have transformed the academic and professional lives of language learners, and imposed new requirements on LSP teaching. This article foregrounds genres in multilingual globalised contexts. Genres have been recognised as one of the key focuses of LSP. Although previous research highlighted the importance of developing relevant field-specific genre practices, little attention has been paid to the nature of genre repertoires in the field of International Relations (IR). We report on the findings of a qualitative study into genre practices of the IR community. We set out to examine the typical genres of IR in academic and in professional settings. We focus on the languages in which these genres are enacted, and on the transformation of genre practices that occurs as a result of the community members’ trajectories through different academic and professional or institutional contexts. The analysis of genre collections and of the data collected through semi-structured interviews with IR students, professors, and graduates, reveals the rich, diverse, and asymmetrical patterns of genre use in three languages: French, Slovene, and English. The study suggests that the informants’ disciplinary communication has changed considerably over the past twenty years, and that the changes in the genre ecologies require new approaches to teaching about genres. Based on the findings of the study, the paper discusses the challenges of multilingual realities for LSP teachers and genre analysts.

Full textAbstract:
Writing and genre scholarship has become increasingly attuned to how various nontextual features of written genres contribute to the kinds of social actions that the genres perform and to the activities that they mediate. Even though scholars have proposed different ways to account for nontextual features of genres, such attempts often remain undertheorized. By bringing together Writing, Activity, and Genre Research, and Multimodal Interaction Analysis, the authors propose a conceptual framework for multimodal activity-based analysis of genres, or Multimodal Writing, Activity, and Genre (MWAG) analysis. Furthermore, by drawing on previous studies of the laboratory notebook (lab book) genre, the article discusses the rhetorical action the genre performs and its role in mediating knowledge construction activities in science. The authors provide an illustrative example of the MWAG analysis of an emergent scientist’s lab book and discuss its contributions to his increasing participation in medical physics. The study contributes to the development of a theoretically informed analytical framework for integrative multimodal and rhetorical genre analysis, while illustrating how the proposed framework can lead to the insights into the sociorhetorical roles multimodal genres play in mediating such activities as knowledge construction and disciplinary enculturation.

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.

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.

Reading habits are often associated with an increased cognitive level. However, book genre can also affect the cognitive level. This is because different book genres can be attributed to different types of knowledge and tendency towards a specific book genre can be viewed as a preference towards a specific type of knowledge. Research on Malaysians’ interest and the tendency towards book genre and type of knowledge can be investigated using the publication data of each book genre and its prices. The objective of this research is to analyse and compare the book publications and the average price of each book’s genre in Malaysia with those of Japan. Comparison was done based on book categorisation genre strategy to 12 book genres. Based on Monte Carlo simulation method data, Malaysians are attracted to book genres on language, literature and science. While the Japanese are more interested in the book genres of social sciences and hobbies/art. The similarity between Malaysian and Japanese societies are that both societies also favour book genre of literature. However, it is possible that the themes of literary genre in Japan and Malaysia are very different. The result of this study can be used to identify the differences between Malaysian and Japanese reading habits as well as for formulating strategies to change Malaysian reading habits towards the style of Japanese reading habits.

Full textAbstract:
This corpus-based study focuses on the nine English central modal verbs (can, could, will, would, may, might, shall, should, and must) across the two chosen genres of the COCA corpus – Spoken and Academic genres, which show the greatest number of differences in terms of genre characteristics, such as formality or intended audience. Because research on modal verbs across genres, especially one inclusive of the spoken genre, is limited, this study investigates these two genres to test the hypothesis that the general genre characteristics influence the choice of modal verbs. As a result, the distribution of modal verbs across the different genres differs too. The results suggest that genre can indeed be indicative of the frequency and use of modal verbs, which may be ascribed to two language processes colloquialization and democratization.

The article verbalizes author's position, concerning the intellectualization of genre system of media communication (as a result of communication forms' changes in modern society) and determines the criteria for its professional analysis. These are linguistic, functional and stylistic, linguocultural and sociolinguistic dimensions of evolution of forms of social communication in mass-media sphere. The research focuses on the non-specific communicative principles of the dynamics of genres in traditional and new media, that, according to extra- and intralinguistic factors, provide different ways of fulfilling the tasks of communicative situation. The paper states actual nowadays medialinguistic aspectology for research of media genres in projection on language functions, realized in communicatively changing mass-media context, associated with psychological time and space of culture. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of functional markers in genre paradigm of media space through the language and cognitive integration of new / traditional genres (post, comment, stories, giveaway, etc.), that in their functional combination form a macrotext, relevant for media communication nowadays. The author also touches upon discussion issues of modern communicative linguistics and media genre theory, that outline the prospects for further investigations in this scientific field: accuracy of nomination and status of certain genres, relevance / irrelevance of traditional for stylistics of the 2nd half of the 20th century genre factors – according to the modern genres of media communication, the diffuse nature of the intellectualization of mass media genre system, connected with appropriate / inappropriate differentiation of such categories, as hyper-genre, sub-genre, genre variety unit, etc.

Abstract: Due to the enormous expansion in the accessibility of music data, music genre classification has taken on new significance in recent years. In order to have better access to them, we need to correctly index them. Automatic music genre classification is essential when working with a large collection of music. For the majority of contemporary music genre classification methodologies, researchers have favoured machine learning techniques. In this study, we employed two datasets with different genres. A Deep Learning approach is utilised to train and classify the system. A convolution neural network is used for training and classification. In speech analysis, the most crucial task is to perform speech analysis is feature extraction. The Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) is utilised as the main audio feature extraction technique. By extracting the feature vector, the suggested method classifies music into several genres. Our findings suggest that our system has an 80% accuracy level, which will substantially improve on further training and facilitate music genre classification.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a study of a group of speech genres, where the factor of the past is relevant, i.e. which are reaction genres. The relevance of the research is determined by the need for the next step in the study of speech genres: from the description of specific genres to the identification and description of systemic relationships between them. The study is a genre analysis of the statements of the Russian language, recorded in the Corpus of the National Russian Language. The article identifies subgroups of genres of negative reaction in relation to the type of initial remark: reactions to imperative genres, reactions to informative genres and a group of genres, which can be caused by both initial remarks and facts of reality. In the course of the research, it was found out that groups of genres united according to the characteristics of the initial remark break up into other groups in case negative reaction genres are grouped according to their illocutionary purpose. Thus, it can be argued that in the genre system of Russian discourse one can see relations similar to paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations in the language system. Each genre, according to different genre-forming features, is associated with different groups of other genres. The approach proposed in the article allows to see those features of the speech genre that are not obvious in its isolated characterization.

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.

Abstract This article suggests that one of the understudied and substantive ways in which actors produce and transform social hierarchies and classifications is by aligning and mis-aligning genres. Alignments within and across genres have furnished methods for construing and evaluating qualities of people – as examples, the genre repertoires of job applications or promotion dossiers. A fine attunement to new and emergent semiotic alignments via genres can also reveal how people are engaging with social and technological transformations. To study this, we advocate turning to four focal points: shifting genre hierarchies, stabilizing genres, cross-genre identities, and empty genres.

Music Genre Classification is one of the interesting digital music processing topics. Genre is a category of artistry, in this case, especially music, to characterize and categorize music is now available in various forms and sources. One of the applications is in determining the music genre classification on folk songs and dangdut songs.The main problem in the classification music genre is to find a combination of features and classifiers that can provide the best result in classifying music files into music genres. So we need to develop methods and algorithms that can classify genres appropriately. This problem can be solved by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM). The genre classification process begins by selecting the song file that will be classified by the genre, then the preprocessing process, the collection features by utilizing feature extraction, and the last process is Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification process to produce genre types from selected song files. The final result of this research is to classify Indonesian folk music genre and dangdut music genre along with the 83.3% accuracy values that indicate the level of system relevance to the results of music genre classification and to provide genre labels on music files as to facilitate the management and search of music files.

Languages are butter and bread of communication among people. Studying languages and their genres are worth researching to know their roots, points of similarities, differences and shared constructions.The current paper is concerned with the role of the written translator in translating the shared terms and constructions of sport genre in political genre of English language into Arabic.I selected ten different examples taken from six sub-genres of Sport genre: (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Boxing, Ice Hockey and Running) whose functions are shared with the political genres. Besides, I chose ten graduate translators to translate the samples given to them so as to analyze their translations. The hypothesis of the current paper is as follows: it is expected that translators' success are lower in comparison with the rate of failure with reference tothe translation of shared terms and construction of sport genre in اشـراقـات تنمــوية ... مجـلة صلــمية محكــمة ... العــدد السابع والـعـشـــرون 2 political genre of English language into Arabic successfully.The researcher adopted an eclectic model of translation analysis based on Foreignization and Domestication combined by Appraisal theory. The results verified the hypothesis because the rate of success is lower than the rate of failure. Keywords: Written Translation, Sport Genre, Political Genre

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides a critical overview of the notion of genre in game studies and in the video game industry. Using the concept of genre requires one to acknowledge the recent developments of genre theory in other fields of research; one such development is the contestation of the idea of generic evolution. After a comparative analysis, video game genres are found to differ from literary and film genres precisely on the basis of evolution. The technological imperatives that characterize video game production are also pinpointed as relevant to the establishment and development of video game genres. Evolution is linked to the processes of innovation, and so a model of innovation is laid out from a compare-and-contrast approach to literary and film genre innovation. This model is tested through the history and analysis of the First-Person Shooter genre. This results in new insights for the question of genre in video games, as it is established that genre is rooted not in game mechanics, but in game aesthetics; that is, play-experiences that share a phenomenological and pragmatic quality, regardless of their technical implementation.

Full textAbstract:
Statement of the problem. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. The purpose of the study is to distinguish the concept of meta-genre as a phenomenon that is in transgressive relations with the academic system of musical genres. The topicality of the study is due to the need for a scientific understanding of the evolutionary processes of genre creation, in particular, the practice of genre metamorphoses, unique authorial genre solutions, which give rise to the phenomenon of “meta-genre” that should be understood as a conscious departure from the academic tradition towards the semanticization of what or another genre invariant. Methodologically, the research relies on the latest developments in the theory of musical genres regarding the semantic load of genre invariant as a type of content and certain principles of its structuring, and also uses a philosophical and cultural approach. An innovative aspect is that the phenomenon of meta-genre is considered as the result of synergistic thinking, which relies on a metaphysical scientific picture of the world and thus ensures the uniqueness of the author’s genre-philosophical concept. Research results and conclusion. It is summarized that the approach to genre-creating algorithms presented by the music of the Modernism and Postmodern era reveals intentions of a transgressive breakthrough beyond the established academic system of musical genres, but at the same time continues the tradition of semantic structuring of a phenomenon of the “genre”. It is possible to ascertain the almost inexhaustible resource potential of meta-genre as a category, which allows composers to more fully express their intentions. After all, it expands the possibilities of understanding the surrounding reality by the means of musical art, building philosophical concepts, the “decoding” of which requires the activity of perception and intellectual efforts from everyone who turns to a musical work, presenting the unique challenges in researching and interpretation of musical texts.

Full textAbstract:
Magical Realism is one of literatures most elusive and debated concepts, as it can be easily confused with other related genres. There is an ongoing debate about whether to label it as a genre or mode of narrative. Magical Realism is an International contemporary genre with its roots in Germany, while it became popularised and pioneered in South America. Over the years, critics have had issues defining the characteristics of Magical Realism as it subtly overlaps with other similar genres like surrealism, fantasy, science fiction, and gothic. Family Resemblance theory explains the overlapping resemblances of almost similar genres using Genre theory. This paper explores the binding relationship between Magical Realism and other genres. Later, they resemble yet differ in detail using their core characteristics. The paper also provides a comparative study on selected genres and studies the concept of genres, their construction, and their evolution. Textual analysis methodology is used in this article to understand the characteristics of magical realism in the novel Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Further analysis of how the novel differs from the other genres is also studied using textual analysis. Genre theory can be analysed to trace the origin and evolution of a genre throughout the years and how they are arbitrary and are constantly misused by authors.

Full textAbstract:
The Qur'an's employment of diverse modes of discourse is, perhaps, the text's defining literary feature. These discourses, ranging from apocalyptic, to narrative, to legal, have long been observed by Western scholars. Genre studies of the Qur'an, however, have largely stagnated, and little progress has been made beyond cursory classifications. This stagnation is particularly stunting to the study of the textual history of the Qur'an, as vital questions concerning the development of individual genres and the relationship between Qur'anic genre and the unit of the sura remain unanswered. This article marks a first attempt at formulating a literary framework for approaching Qur'anic genre. It will synthesise existing conceptions of Qur'anic genre into a common interpretative framework: individual Qur'anic genres exist as thematically and syntactically demarcated literary units. The article will then propose a novel, literary approach that utilises a comparative thematic and syntactic structural analysis of the Qur'an text to uncover the original, communicated pieces of Qur'anic revelation from the Prophet to an audience in time, or ‘Qur'anic utterances'. This literary analysis is applied to Sūrat Āl ʿImrān and will demonstrate that it is constructed of 34 individual utterances and nine distinct literary genres.

Full textAbstract:
Although community colleges are important entry points into higher education for many American students, few studies have investigated how community college students engage with different genres or develop genre knowledge. Even fewer have connected students’ genre knowledge to their academic performance. The present article discusses how 104 ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse students reported on classroom genre experiences and wrote stories about college across three narrative genres (Letter, Best Experience, Worst Experience). Findings suggest that students’ engagement with classroom genres in community college helped them develop rhetorical reading and writing skills. When students wrote about their college lives across narrative genres, they reflected on higher education in varied ways to achieve differing sociocultural goals with distinct audiences. Finally, students’ experience with classroom and narrative genres predicted their GPA, implying that students’ genre knowledge signals and influences their academic success. These findings demonstrate how diverse students attending community college can use genres as resources to further their social and academic development.

The recent speculative turn in literacy, English education, and other ELA-related fields has brought renewed energy for redesigning English teaching and learning through genre awareness. However, extant work on speculative genres of reading, writing, and literary study assumes that ELA teachers are prepared or, more fundamentally, aware of these genres and their unique features. Addressing this gap, this article presents a single intrinsic case of Carlos, a queer man of Color and bilingual elementary teacher, as he cultivated genre awareness through an interactive approach to genre pedagogy through restorying. Based on a rhetorical genre studies approach, Carlos’s case demonstrates how English teachers might expand their genre repertoire to include speculative genres and integrate them into their classrooms. This article concludes by advocating for the integration of speculative literacies into English teacher education, doing so to disrupt normative realities tied to white supremacy and homophobia within the field.

Modern linguistics is characterized by the establishment and formation of a new promising direction, based on anthropocentric theory of speech genres (TSG). The popularity of this direction lies in the interest of the scientists in the phenomenon of virtual communication, which has a certain structure and differs in mechanisms of influence on the social content. The multidimensionality and richness of genre forms determine the need for a diverse approach to the study of speech genres in modern genology. The aim of the article is to study and analyze the theory of speech genres in modern linguistics. The author presents the basic theoretical foundations of the study of the theory of speech genres. Taking into account the achievements of modern studies, the concept of speech genres is analyzed, features and functions of the visual elements of the speech genre are described. It is proved that the modern speech genre and its variety the virtual speech genre are an informational and communicative environment in which there is a certain styling, sphere of communication, speech behavior. The speech genre and the virtual speech genre belong to the written communication and rely on the fullest use of lexical, grammatical, graphic, and media means of speech, which foresees certain adjustments, as well as it differs by the form of dialogue and monologue.

Increased attention to genre in writing studies has brought a proliferation of new terms and concepts for capturing the complexity of writers’ knowledge about genres, including genre knowledge, genre awareness, recontextualization, conditional knowledge, and metacognition. Definitions of these concepts have at times conflicted, and their interrelationships are often unclear. Furthermore, scholarship has tended to overlook the role of multiple languages in writers’ genre knowledge. In this article, we first trace the use of related terminology and demonstrate the need for theoretical clarity. We then propose a theoretical framework that articulates key layers of genre knowledge and their interrelations, presuming a multilingual writer. Finally, we share examples of how this proposed framework may be used in teaching and researching genre knowledge. Ultimately, we aim to contribute to ongoing theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical explorations and applications of knowing and learning genres.
