Readwritethink(2005) What Is a Genre? Definition from Dictionary.com: Genre (noun) 1: a kind of literary or artistic work 2: a style of expressing yourself in writing [syn: writing style, literary genre] 3: a class of artistic endeavor having a characteristic form or technique.” Additional Explanation: The two major categories, or genres, are fiction (about things, events, and characters that are not true) and nonfiction (about things, events, and people that are based on fact). From these two major categories, we can classify even further. For example, fiction can be divided into poetry, drama (plays), or prose. Those categories tell us something about the form of the work. Further, we also classify fiction according to layout and style. There are picture books, which contain words and pictures, novellas or short novels, and short stories, which are much shorter than novellas. Finally, fiction can be classified by content and theme. Here is where we find our common genres: adventure stories, science fiction/fantasy, mystery, horror, romance, realistic fiction, and historical fiction. One thing to keep in mind while reading different texts: genre categories aren’t always clear-cut. You can have a crime/mystery story set in the future (science fiction) or in the past (historical fiction). The example : Examples of musical genres: hip-hop, rock and roll, string quartets

GENRE According to Wikipedia (2012) explains that, Genre is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or culture, e.g. music, and in general, any type of discourse, whether written or spoken, audial or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued.
In the other hand, Pat hauldren (2009) defines genre as a class or category of artistic endeavor having a particular form, content, technique or the like, of or pertaining to a distinctive literary type. • Examples of literary genres: thriller, detective story, romance • Examples of film genres: western, musical, epic
Genre as we know that from Latin it means “kind” or “class”. So, in my opinion Genre is the class of art, discourse (written and spoken). I will give you the examples: • Art : Music rock, classic, pop, RnB, dangdut etc • Written and spoken : drama, poem, opera, story etc

PSYCHOLINGUISTICS 10 TASK 10: 18 FEBRUARY 2012 Explain about "Genres"!
In Oxford Dictionary: “Genre” is particular style or type of literature, art, film or music.
From answers.com (2012): Genre, in literature, a class or type of literary work, such as epic, lyric, tragedy, or comedy. In classical literature the genres were carefully distinguished from each other not only by subject-matter but also by formal aspects such as dialect (in Greek), vocabulary, and metre, and the conventions of each genre were strictly adhered to. Ignorance of these has sometimes resulted in misplaced criticism, as when Samuel Johnson found ‘inherently improbable’ the poet Milton's pastoral elegy Lycidas.
From Answers.com (2012): A genre describes what type of story something is. Horror is scary, comedy is funny, tragedy is sad, mystery is mysterious, adventure is exciting, you get the idea. Also: Prose fiction • Novel • Short story Poetry • Epic • Lyric • Ballad
From answers.com (2012): A genre is a class of artistic work, such as a musical genre or a literary genre.
Examples of musical genres: hip-hop, rock and roll, string quartets Examples of literary genres: thriller, detective story, romance Examples of film genres: western, musical, epic
A Genre Hybrid is where two different genres are merged together, to form a new genre. for example, A romance, and a comedy, combines to form a romcom.
Some of all the existing definitions I can conclude, that: In my opinion, • A genre is a type of fiction category, like Science Fiction, Romance, Horror or Mystery. These are known as Genres. • A genre (from French means "kind" or "sort") is a loose set of criteria for a category of composition; the term is often used to categorize literature and speech. in other words, genre is used to caterorize the types of books or movies. Some genres are: * Historical * Historical Fiction * Action * Science Fiction * Fantasy * Romance * Crime Fiction * Comedy * Horror * Thriller * Western

A genre is a particular type of literature, painting, music, film, or other art form which people consider as a class because it has special characteristics.
Genre Genre is a term used to classify types of spoken or written discourse. These are normally classified by content, language, purpose and form. Example Learners analyse an example of a formal letter of complaint, looking at structure, set phrases, formality and purpose. They identify the key elements of this genre then produce their own examples based on this data. In the classroom Written genres that learners deal with in class include reports, news articles, letters of enquiry, stories, invitations, e-mails and poems. Spoken genres include presentations, speeches, interviews and informal conversation.

Genre, in literature, a class or type of literary work, such as epic, lyric, tragedy, or comedy. In classical literature the genres were carefully distinguished from each other not only by subject-matter but also by formal aspects such as dialect (in Greek), vocabulary, and metre, and the conventions of each genre were strictly adhered to. Ignorance of these has sometimes resulted in misplaced criticism, as when Samuel Johnson found ‘inherently improbable’ the poet Milton's pastoral elegy Lycidas. he way you would write up a case-study depends on the purpose of the case-study. Yin (1994, pp. 4-6) identified three different types of case studies, which you could choose from according your purpose. They are exploratory, explanatory and descriptive case studies • An exploratory case-study is initial research that tries to look for patterns in the data and come up with a model within which to view this data. In this kind of research you would collect the data first. You would then try to make sense of it, doing any reading you needed to. Research questions for this kind of case-study can focus on “what” questions: What are the ways of increasing sales? • Descriptive case-studies take this further and try to obtain information on the particular features of an issue. This type of case study will require a theory to point the data collection in the correct direction. Research questions here can again focus on “what” but lead to questions such as: What have been the effects of a particular sales activity? • Explanatory research continues this even further by trying to analyse or explain why or how something happens or happened. Research question in this case are more likely to be of the “how” or “why” type: Why did a particular promotion activity lead to increased sales? The genre approach, "involves the direct teaching of a range of genres through a cycle that includes modelling, joint construction and independent construction". (Green and Campbell 2003, 209). This approach to teaching writing stemmed from a specific criticism of process writing- that students were producing a surplus of narrative genre to the detriment of developing writing competency in other genres. Critics in the 1980s and 90s claimed that "children needed to be taught explicitly about the structural and textual features of a large range of text types, or genres" (Green and Campbell 2003, 133) and thus the genre approach to teaching writing emerged.

GENRES Genre is a type of written or spoken discourse. Such as narrative, persuasive, expository and descriptive. 1. Narrative The main purpose of narrative text is to tell a story. Narrative text has beginning, middle and end, characters, plot or conflict, and setting. Usually, narrative texts are written from the authors imagination. Example: The Legend of Rawa Pening Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy. Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. (Kane, Thomas. S. 2000.)
2. Expository Exposition is a type of oral or written discourse that is used to explain, describe, give information or inform. Example: Explaining process Chocolate cake with vanilla/almond frosting provides a tasty treat for any occasion. Follow the directions for making any flavor of chocolate cake. While the cake bakes in the oven, prepare a box of vanilla frosting mix added with roasted and buttered almond slivers. Evenly coated in melted butter the almond slivers toast in a hot skill for approximately ten minutes. DESCRIPTIVE Descriptive paragraphs are often used to describe what a person looks and acts like. The purpose of descriptive writing is to make our readers see, feel, and hear what we have seen, felt, and heard. Example: Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie does not like bones. Every day it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give it milk and bread. When I am at school, Brownie plays with my cat. (Anoekami.2012). 3. PERSUASIVE Persuasive writing is a type of writing where your main goal is to persuade or convince someone to do something that you want them to do. A form of persuasive writing is a letter written to someone telling him or her a complaint that you have. Example: A study finds that junk food ads rule kids' TV. Experts often say that watching too much TV can be bad for a kid's brain. Now, researchers say watching TV may also be a bad influence on kids' food choices. The nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation does research on health-care issues. In one study, it found that "tweens"--kids between 8 and 12--are exposed to more food ads than any other group of kids.

ReplyDeleteWhat Is a Genre?
Definition from Dictionary.com:
Genre (noun)
1: a kind of literary or artistic work
2: a style of expressing yourself in writing [syn: writing style, literary
genre]
3: a class of artistic endeavor having a characteristic form or
technique.”
Additional Explanation:
The two major categories, or genres, are fiction (about things, events, and
characters that are not true) and nonfiction (about things, events, and
people that are based on fact). From these two major categories, we can
classify even further. For example, fiction can be divided into poetry, drama
(plays), or prose. Those categories tell us something about the form of the
work.
Further, we also classify fiction according to layout and style. There are
picture books, which contain words and pictures, novellas or short novels,
and short stories, which are much shorter than novellas.
Finally, fiction can be classified by content and theme. Here is where we
find our common genres: adventure stories, science fiction/fantasy,
mystery, horror, romance, realistic fiction, and historical fiction.
One thing to keep in mind while reading different texts: genre categories
aren’t always clear-cut. You can have a crime/mystery story set in the future
(science fiction) or in the past (historical fiction).
The example : Examples of musical genres: hip-hop, rock and roll, string quartets

ReplyDeleteMeiyati (2010): English Oxford Learner’s Thesaurus © Oxford University Press, 2008, genre is defined as "a particular style or type of literature, art, music or film that can be recognized because of its special features."
ReplyDeleteSo the genre is a style or type of literature, art, music or a particular film that can be recognized or distinguished as his trademark. Relation to language, genre can be interpreted as a kind of text. Each type of text has its own characteristics, therefore easy to recognize what type of text being read or written one.
Characteristic of an existing text of a general nature, some are related to culture. For example of a functional text invitation letter. The style of wedding invitations Indonesian different style invitation letter (uleman) Javanese and different with the English style of the invitation letter. For some types of text that is the art of others who have similar characteristics and some are completely different. Style of narrative text, for example, there are several characteristics in common between Indonesian with English. But the style of writing works of literary art "song" would just be better understood and expressed its full potential with the Java language.

ReplyDeleteGENRE
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia (2012) explains that, Genre is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or culture, e.g. music, and in general, any type of discourse, whether written or spoken, audial or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued.
In the other hand, Pat hauldren (2009) defines genre as a class or category of artistic endeavor having a particular form, content, technique or the like, of or pertaining to a distinctive literary type.
• Examples of literary genres: thriller, detective story, romance
• Examples of film genres: western, musical, epic
Genre as we know that from Latin it means “kind” or “class”. So, in my opinion Genre is the class of art, discourse (written and spoken). I will give you the examples:
• Art : Music rock, classic, pop, RnB, dangdut etc
• Written and spoken : drama, poem, opera, story etc

TASK 10: 18 FEBRUARY 2012
Explain about "Genres"!
In Oxford Dictionary: “Genre” is particular style or type of literature, art, film or music.
From answers.com (2012): Genre, in literature, a class or type of literary work, such as epic, lyric, tragedy, or comedy. In classical literature the genres were carefully distinguished from each other not only by subject-matter but also by formal aspects such as dialect (in Greek), vocabulary, and metre, and the conventions of each genre were strictly adhered to. Ignorance of these has sometimes resulted in misplaced criticism, as when Samuel Johnson found ‘inherently improbable’ the poet Milton's pastoral elegy Lycidas.
From Answers.com (2012): A genre describes what type of story something is. Horror is scary, comedy is funny, tragedy is sad, mystery is mysterious, adventure is exciting, you get the idea.
Also:
Prose fiction
• Novel
• Short story
Poetry
• Epic
• Lyric
• Ballad
From answers.com (2012): A genre is a class of artistic work, such as a musical genre or a literary genre.
Examples of musical genres: hip-hop, rock and roll, string quartets
Examples of literary genres: thriller, detective story, romance
Examples of film genres: western, musical, epic
A Genre Hybrid is where two different genres are merged together, to form a new genre. for example, A romance, and a comedy, combines to form a romcom.
Some of all the existing definitions I can conclude, that:
In my opinion,
• A genre is a type of fiction category, like Science Fiction, Romance, Horror or Mystery. These are known as Genres.
• A genre (from French means "kind" or "sort") is a loose set of criteria for a category of composition; the term is often used to categorize literature and speech. in other words, genre is used to caterorize the types of books or movies.
Some genres are:
* Historical
* Historical Fiction
* Action
* Science Fiction
* Fantasy
* Romance
* Crime Fiction
* Comedy
* Horror
* Thriller
* Western

ReplyDeleteA genre is a particular type of literature, painting, music, film, or other art form which people consider as a class because it has special characteristics.
ReplyDeleteGenre
Genre is a term used to classify types of spoken or written discourse. These are normally classified by content, language, purpose and form.
Example
Learners analyse an example of a formal letter of complaint, looking at structure, set phrases, formality and purpose. They identify the key elements of this genre then produce their own examples based on this data.
In the classroom
Written genres that learners deal with in class include reports, news articles, letters of enquiry, stories, invitations, e-mails and poems. Spoken genres include presentations, speeches, interviews and informal conversation.

he way you would write up a case-study depends on the purpose of the case-study. Yin (1994, pp. 4-6) identified three different types of case studies, which you could choose from according your purpose. They are exploratory, explanatory and descriptive case studies
• An exploratory case-study is initial research that tries to look for patterns in the data and come up with a model within which to view this data. In this kind of research you would collect the data first. You would then try to make sense of it, doing any reading you needed to. Research questions for this kind of case-study can focus on “what” questions: What are the ways of increasing sales?
• Descriptive case-studies take this further and try to obtain information on the particular features of an issue. This type of case study will require a theory to point the data collection in the correct direction. Research questions here can again focus on “what” but lead to questions such as: What have been the effects of a particular sales activity?
• Explanatory research continues this even further by trying to analyse or explain why or how something happens or happened. Research question in this case are more likely to be of the “how” or “why” type: Why did a particular promotion activity lead to increased sales?
The genre approach, "involves the direct teaching of a range of genres through a cycle that includes modelling, joint construction and independent construction". (Green and Campbell 2003, 209). This approach to teaching writing stemmed from a specific criticism of process writing- that students were producing a surplus of narrative genre to the detriment of developing writing competency in other genres. Critics in the 1980s and 90s claimed that "children needed to be taught explicitly about the structural and textual features of a large range of text types, or genres" (Green and Campbell 2003, 133) and thus the genre approach to teaching writing emerged.

GENRES
ReplyDeleteGenre is a type of written or spoken discourse. Such as narrative, persuasive, expository and descriptive.
1. Narrative
The main purpose of narrative text is to tell a story. Narrative text has beginning, middle and end, characters, plot or conflict, and setting. Usually, narrative texts are written from the authors imagination.
Example: The Legend of Rawa Pening
Once upon a time, there was a little poor boy came into a little village. He was very hungry and weak. He knocked at every door and asked for some food, but nobody cared about him. Nobody wanted to help the little boy.
Finally, a generous woman helped him. She gave him shelter and a meal. When the boy wanted to leave, this old woman gave him a “lesung”, a big wooden mortar for pounding rice. She reminded him, “please remember, if there is a flood you must save yourself. (Kane, Thomas. S. 2000.)
2. Expository
Exposition is a type of oral or written discourse that is used to explain, describe, give information or inform.
Example: Explaining process
Chocolate cake with vanilla/almond frosting provides a tasty treat for any occasion. Follow the directions for making any flavor of chocolate cake. While the cake bakes in the oven, prepare a box of vanilla frosting mix added with roasted and buttered almond slivers. Evenly coated in melted butter the almond slivers toast in a hot skill for approximately ten minutes. DESCRIPTIVE
Descriptive paragraphs are often used to describe what a person looks and acts like. The purpose of descriptive writing is to make our readers see, feel, and hear what we have seen, felt, and heard.
Example: Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie does not like bones. Every day it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give it milk and bread. When I am at school, Brownie plays with my cat. (Anoekami.2012).
3. PERSUASIVE
Persuasive writing is a type of writing where your main goal is to persuade or convince someone to do something that you want them to do. A form of persuasive writing is a letter written to someone telling him or her a complaint that you have.
Example: A study finds that junk food ads rule kids' TV.
Experts often say that watching too much TV can be bad for a kid's brain. Now, researchers say watching TV may also be a bad influence on kids' food choices. The nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation does research on health-care issues. In one study, it found that "tweens"--kids between 8 and 12--are exposed to more food ads than any other group of kids.
