Hi
The genre refers to the literary genre such as novel, short story, drama etc
Type refers to formal and informal.
I hope this can give a clue.

As far as I know, text types are like writing types such as descriptive, narrative but genre is used as a term for the category such as literature, music and so forth.

Dear colleague,
A text type is to say whether the text is narrative, descriptive, argumentative, descriptive or expository.
Note that all texts are somehow descriptive: that īs why we qualify texts as narrative descriptive.
Talking about text genre is defining a written text as a pamphlet, an obituary, a history text, or is it a biographical one. |
