TY - JOUR T1 - Business and Legal Case Genre Networks: Two Case Studies JF - English for Specific Purposes Y1 - 2012 A1 - Uhrig, K AB -

The framework of genre systems offers an opportunity to illuminate the ways in which students enculturate into their disciplinary cultures. To explore the ways in which genre chains are constructed through engagement in specific tasks, this study investigates two international students’ development of genre systems in law and MBA programs through the examination of program syllabi and individual student engagement. The findings demonstrate key differences between the programs in expectations and genre sets, as well as illuminating the ways that individuals construct genre systems to mitigate the language challenges that they face. The findings add a thick description to the specific vs. general EAP discussion.

Este trabajo analiza tres de los principales criterios mediante los cuales se ha buscado clasificar la predicación hispánica en géneros, entre los que se ha incluido el panegírico. Se revisa la tradición retórica clásica y se establecen diferencias con la oratoria sagrada, con el fin de determinar en qué medida es posible clasificar géneros del sermón. Además, se busca determinar cuál sería el lugar del panegírico dentro de la retórica sacra. Palabras clave: retórica sagrada, panegírico, discurso, Nueva España, siglos XVII-XVIII.

This work is based on a review of three of the main criteria used to classify Hispanic preaching in genres (types of sermons). These criteria have also been used to classify panegyric as a genre of sacred oratory. Establishing differences between classical rhetoric and sacred oratory, this paper will try to define the place of the panegyric in preaching, thus determining in which ways it is possible to speak about genres of the sermon. Key words: sacred oratory, panegyric, discourse, New Spain, 16th and 17th centuries.
