  • Text type, genre, register and style in relation to text analysis and translation
    Limon, David
    The paper discusses varying definitions of the terms text type, genre, register and style, and suggests how they can be used to describe situational variation among texts. This survey includes an ... overview of the disciplines of register studies and genre analysis, as well as efforts within Translation Studies to define text type. Each of the four terms has a role to play within text and translation analysis. Style is best reserved for judgements made by individual writers, which can be judged in relation to norms. Register reflects language choices in different contexts of situation, but the key variable involved is the relationship between those communicating. Genres are best understood in terms of social action or communicative purpose - what we are using text to achieve. The communicative success of a text depends both onits adherence to genre conventions and consistent use of appropriate register. Finally, text type membership depends on predominant rhetorical purpose or focus (e.g. instruction, exposition or argumentation).
