Vijay K. Bhatia, _Analysing genre: Language use in professional settings_.
Longman, 1993. He has chapters on genres in business as well as legal and
academic settings.
Bhatia's work on genre analysis owes a good deal to John Swales's work.
John's book _Genre analysis; English in academic and research settings_,
is Cambridge UP, 1990. Both books have useful bibliographies
You might also want to check these books: Academic writing in a second
language: Essays on research and pedagogy, eds. Diane Belcher and George
Braine, Ablex, 1995;
--Contrastive rhetoric: cross-cultural aspects of second-language writing,
Ulla Connor, Cambridge UP, 1996.
And the journal, _World Englishes_ just published a special issue on Genre
analysis and world Englishes (November, 1997), guest edited by Bhatia. A
number of writers in this issue discuss the nativization of English in
countries in the Outer Circle and the implications of this phenomenon for
L2 teaching.
Outside of the field of L2 written communication, but in applied
linguistics, I'd suggest:
--The construction of professional discourse, eds. B.Gunnarsson, P.
Linell, and B. Nordberg, Longman, 1997
and in rhetoric and composition, there's Susan Peck Macdonald's
Professional academic writing in the Humanities and Social Sciences, SIU
Press, 1994.
Hope these are useful to you.
