* Gledhill (1985) Genres are not systems consisting of fixed number of listable items. Its difficult to make distinctions between genres, they develop and mix.
* Gledhill - Diff genres = Diff audiences.
* Neale (1980) Difference is essential to the economy of a genre.
* Hartly (1994) 1 new text added to a genre changes the whole genre, even if the text in question displays few of the recognized conventions traditionally associated with the genre. The same text can belong to different genres at different times in different places.
* Buckingham (1993) - Genre is in a constant process of negotiation and change.
* Abercrombie (1994) - Genres are permeable and change and shift over time.
* Wales (1989) Genre is an intertextual concept, we understand it in relation to other texts.
* Barthes (1975) We make sense of events in a text in relation to other texts in genre (not life).
* Derrida (1981) Every text participates in one or several genres, there is no genre less text.
* Genre - a noun or an adjective? How something is categorized is determined by who does it, for whom, where and when. Reid (2001)
