Integrity, genre
According to Bhatia (1997), “[g]eneric integrity is the product of the conventional features of a specific generic construct ... [that] often constrain the use of linguistic resources (lexico-grammatical as well as discoursal), and are frequently invoked to arrive at a reasonable interpretation of the genre or even determine the choice of the genre to suit a particular context” (360-362).
Ansary and Babaii (2005) use and summarize Bhatia’s definition of “generic integrity,” simply stating that it is the genre’s “recognizable structural identity” (271).

Ansary and Babaii (2005) use Bhatia’s definition of “generic integrity” to analyze “distinctive rhetorical features of English newspaper editorials as an important public ‘Cinderella’ genre and propos[e] a generic prototypical pattern of text development for editorials” (271).
