Genre analysis is an area of discourse analysis which studies written and spoken discourse, mainly in non literary communication and especially in domain-specific communication (academic, corporate, legal), approaching it in terms of genres, that is, ‘types’ or ‘kinds’ of discourse. This entry identifies the main traditions in genre analysis and discusses the most important concepts. The article then examines evolutions of genre analysis over time, including those ensuing from the spread of new media.
