The International Symposium on Text Genre Studies – SIGET – gathers together researchers, university, secondary, and primary school teachers and other professionals involved in the study of text genres. Due to the inherent interdisciplinarity of the study object (text genres), this symposium aims at researchers from different areas within both Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (discourse analysts, researchers on text, conversation, and enunciation, teacher trainers), as well as professionals and researchers of other fields, such as pedagogy, psychology, sociology, communication, terminology, translation, an others.
