Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Grammar of genres and styles: an overview -- Text types, audience and thematic organisation in the recent history of English -- Reference chains and genre identification -- Taking into account coherence relations to describe a textual genre: methodology and application to the discourse of tourist attraction guides -- Linguistic features of genre and method variation in translation: a computational perspective -- Approaching French theatrical characters by syntactical analysis: a study with motifs and correspondence analysis -- Towards a topological grammar of genres and styles: a way to combine paradigmatic quantitative analysis with a syntagmatic approach -- The balance between quantitative and qualitative literary stylistics: how the method of “motifs” can help -- Live TV sports commentaries: specific syntactic structures and general constraints -- Bursts of written language as performance units for the description of genre routines -- Index
Summary: The book provides new findings about the grammar of genres and styles. It combines new methods with different kinds of empirical material, from social reports to live TV sports commentaries or 16th century newspapers, in English, French, Latin and Spanish. The study of non-discrete units suggests new ways of seeing the linguistic variation between genres and styles and the ways in which belonging to a genre predetermines linguistic choices.
