Styles – Genres – Contexts 3502-JIS-13
In the age of global contacts and cultural exchange, which contribute to far-reaching social transformations in various areas of life, discourse plays the key role as a medium combining language activities with the related social practices. Genres and styles are important components of these transformations, acting as carriers of meaning in interaction on the one hand, and reflecting the actions, positions and relationships of the interactants on the other. These relations in turn contribute to the constantly evolving contexts, whose sources can be found in discursively shaped cognitive schemata of social actors, which likewise exert a direct impact on the textual form of communication events.
The lectures discuss the ways in which genres, styles and contexts, understood as linguistic and cognitive practices and social institutions, create and change social reality. In particular, the lectures focus on the role of genres representing various areas of discourse in creating and developing specific areas of public life, including politics, economy, business, media, education, or advertising. The texts characteristic of these areas are shown to act as both representations and media of cultural processes occurring in these domains, including globalization, marketization or technologization, which is reflected in the transformation of genres and styles, including their hybridization, conversationalization or multimodality. It is also shown how development of genres is often accompanied by changes, displacements and even reversals of textually defined social roles, which in turn stimulates the processes of identity reconstruction and the resulting changes in styles and perspectives of expression. Emergence of new communication scripts in interpersonal relationships and new discursive patterns of action entails the reformulation of contextual parameters, against which the interactants interpret the actual communication events.
