In America, Miller (1984), Bazerman (1994), Swales (1990), and Yates and Orlikowski (1992) introduce models for conducting generic analysis.

Despite these apparently different frameworks, this section introduces the key points of a functional genre theory focusing on Swales's (1990) definition of genre, Bhatia's(1993) ideas of the goal of genre theory and Miller's (1984) views on genre as a social action.
