The Attempt of Social Roles Typology of Speech Genres, Summary

The Attempt of Social Roles Typology of Speech Genres

 In the article "The Attempt of Social Roles Typology of Speech Genres" by Krysin N.P., the author suggests an attempt to link the theory of role structure of the human behaviour to different speech genres.
 First, the author gives the definition of social roles, defining them as "a set of role expectations". He then proceeds to give the definition of speech genre, stressing that they have many connection points with social roles. He elaborates that speech acts are defined, just as social roles, by the principle of recurrence. Furthermore, he states that the most typical way of communicating and exercising your social role is to create social roles pairs. The author then proposes a system of interrelation of social roles and speech genres, differentiating them into symmetrical and asymmetrical. Ultimately, what Krysin N.P. is trying to convey through his article is that social role structure may and should be linked to the theory of speech genres.
 I have chosen this article because it is directly related to the research I am conducting for my course paper, which has to do with Sociolinguistics, Linguostylistics and Pragmatics.
 After reading this article, a few questions sprung up in my mind.
1) What are the means of reflecting the proposed social roles in speech?
2) Is there any data confirming the proposed classification of social roles?

3) What are the next steps in developing the theory of Social Roles related to speech genres?

    Andrey, the article you have chosen is quite curious. I have heard about Krysin N.P. before, but did not know this work before. You said it is related to the research for your course paper, what is the name of it? What are symmetrical and assymetrical speech genres?

      Anna, what do you mean by "curious" here? The thing is that you can say that you are curious about smth., that is you would like to learn more about it. But I am afraid it's not quite right to refer to the article content as being "curious". You can say that it is "intriguing" or thought-provoking", for example. You can also check a list of possible synonyms appropriate in this case at

    Content:
    the summary provides the essential information about the mainis points of the article and is well organised. What is your main
    takeaway from reading it?
    Language:
    Can you clarify what you mean by "the author" suggests an attempt to link"?
    social roles pairs(?)
    interrelation **of (prep) social roles and speech genres

      My main takeaway would be the ground basis for further research, a glimpse of what will be researched later.
      1) "The author suggests an attempt to link" means that this is not an actual research, just a few thoughts on what might be expected in the following years of research.
      2) By "social roles pairs" I meant the pair of speakers that have two different roles. I now understand that it seems a bit wacky.

"Gore Galore: Literary Theory and Computer Games" summary

 In the article " Gore Galore: Literary Theory and Computer Games " by Geoffrey Rockwel, the author analyses possible approaches to computer games from the point of view of literary criticism and proposes a new framework for literary criticism. Firstly, he provides a brief history of computer games as was in 2002. After that, he provides arguments for the development of literary criticism applied to videogames. Rockwel then proceeds to discuss three different points of view on videogames. He starts with psychological approach, which views computer games as, often destructive, culture phenomenon. He continues by presenting a literary view on videogames, which, he points out, sadly only considers text based games. The author then moves onto the hypertext approach, which views computer games as a kind of hypertext, a synergy of different genres and texts. Rockwell proceeds by refuting all these approaches on various grounds and proposes his own framework for videogame crit...

Useful Software for Academic Writing

Research Software Right below you may find a standard article summary. For interesting and useful (in my opinion) bullet points look below the summary. In the article "How to Write a Thesis and Which Software Tools to Use" by Joeran Bell a tutorial on the use of software in writing an academic paper is presented. The article is divided into three sections according to the process of writing a thesis: reviewing literature, writing a draft and, finally, writing the thesis. In the first section Joeran offers solutions to the problem of information storing and classification. It is very hard to remember every interesting detail and its reference from every paper you read, He proposes to use mind mapping software. He offers a number of programmes with an emphasis on Docear [which I find rather hideous and outdated, though may be useful nonetheless. Still, XMind seems like it received more updates than Docear]. He presents examples and step-by-step tutorial on how you can orga...
