Abstract: Genre analysis is an area of discourse analysis that studies written and spoken discourse, mainly in nonliterary communication and especially in domain‐specific communication (academic, corporate, legal), approaching it in terms of genres, that is, “types” or “kinds” of discourse. The article looks at the main traditions in genre analysis, discussing the most important concepts in each of them. It then examines evolutions of genre analysis over time, including those ensuing from the spread of new media.
