Subject: task 11

the word genre can be, here, understood as a social convention, a kind of text used in certain conditions to establish some communication.

genres might differ depending its context of use (there is a differenciation depending on the media where the text is being presented - a media context is different from a research context).

for teaching purposes, it is interesting to show the students that there are different conventions adopted for each genre (the language used in an internet chat is not the same of the language used in an academic paper).

it is also interesting to show that:

*Genres are configurations of meaning that are recurrently phased together to enact social practices

*A genre exists only in the recognition and attributions of the users

*Some set of communicative purposes [and] various patterns of similarity in terms of structure, style, content and intended audience
