What are the written genres?Show answer
Written anthology texts span genres with distinct conventions. A letter (personal or open) constructs a voice through its address, register and the relationship it assumes with its recipient. Journalism (reportage, feature, opinion) ranges from the apparently neutral to the overtly persuasive, and its voice is built through selection, register and stance. A review constructs an evaluative, often witty voice, balancing description and judgement.
