What the book is about
- Central claim: Texts are organized around recurring types (genres) and prototypes—idealized, typical exemplars that speakers and readers use to recognize and produce communicative acts.
- Analytic focus: How prototypes help categorize texts despite surface variation, and how prototypes interact with contextual factors to create meaning.
- Approach: Combines corpus-based observation with theoretical argumentation rooted in pragmatics and semiotics.
