Teaching Readers of English “A book of this kind is long overdue. . . . It is a giant contribution to the field.

Pre- and in-service teachers‚ in particular‚ will benefit immensely.” Alan Hirvela‚ The Ohio State University

An Introduction to Genre Theory Daniel Chandler 1. The problem of definition A number of perennial doubts plague genre theory. Are genres really ’out there ’ in the world‚ or are they merely the constructions of analysts? Is there a finite taxonomy of genres or are they in principle infinite?
