Yes Adriana,
these definitios are importanat for us to understand the different ways in which genre has been viewd and worked, since each theory has a specific way to deal with the term.
In ESP,students only have to recognize and learn patterns of language they find in professional and academic contexts.Then, what happens here is a linguistic analysis for descdription of genres.
In New Rethoric, genre is described in a more detailed way, by using ethnograohic methods and considereing the actions that texts perform within professional and ademic contexts. This theory focus on a social function of genre and contexts in which they are used. And in systemic functional lingistics, genre is described considering the relashionship between language texts and context, written and spoken modes, besides a functional perspective in the study of language. In this case, genre refers to the relationship between social function and predictable patterning of language.
