Abstract

Marcuschi (2003b) claims that “every genre has its medium”
and analyses the relationship between various textual genres
and their respective media. This essay questions the validity
of his thesis, through evidence from oral and written genres.
The role of the media in the birth, transformation and
circulation of the genres is also discussed.
