Discourse types

The term discourse type is preferred to other labels which might be encountered in linguistics, such as text-type or genre since, for some, text-type implies work on written texts, whereas much of CADS has been carried out on spoken discourse^{[citation needed]}, and genre is a term which is accompanied by huge baggage in literature, and some of the discourse types we may wish to examine might not meet everyone’s criteria of what constitutes a “genre”. For instance, Parliamentary debates on the Iraq war, White House press briefings, or the speeches of Silvio Berlusconi, all objects of recent Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) scrutiny^{[citation needed]}, may not be classifiable as separate genres.
