Instances of Discourse and Genre Analysis in ESP
Journal Title: Buletin Științific, seria A, Fascicula Filologie - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
People in different professional fields should be concerned with the processes of producing and interpreting texts and at the same time with how these cognitive processes are socially shaped and relative to social conventions. The pragmatic purpose of using English in international business implies a core of lexicon and grammar that has to remain understandable to all non-native speakers of English. Recently, the concept of genre has started assuming importance in linguistics, too, combining socio-cultural and psycholinguistic aspects of text-construction and interpretation with linguistic insights. Genre knowledge should be regarded as a resource to exploit generic conventions and rhetorical situations. It is this aspect of genre analysis that is considered relevant for communicative language teaching, particularly to ESP. This paper focuses on instances of English for Specific Purposes research and practice for identifying which discourses go with which genres; focusing on the specificity of discourse and genre features as well as on their constraints, in order to facilitate their acquisition by non-native speakers and to enhance cross- cultural understanding
