Synopsis

From a viewpoint of discourse as the connecting middle ground between genre, register and schema, this book establishes meaningful links between these notions. It disambiguates the conflated relationship between genre and register by suggesting that genre texts need to be modelled out of a balance between the generic knowledge and discipline specific needs. This book also investigates the relationship between schematic and generic structure and uncovers how far RA writers are aware of the text structure they employ in their writing and indicates how these structures have been internalised as schemata.
