Reading from the perspective of genre theory
Abstract
The theory of text genres, commonly used in literature studies, linguistics, sociology and psychology, still has not found a proper interest in library and information studies. In the article we gave one of the important aspects arising from the genre theory, namely the role of knowledge of genres (or a single genre) in the process of reading and communication. The author used an interactive and transactional model of reading. In conclusion, the author illustrated the use of many text genres in the work of librarian in the process of information organisation.References
