Text Typology文本类型 赖斯（Reiss）
The theories concerning text type and translation are mostly bad on the work done by Buhler in the 1930’s . Buhler’s idea is to categorize text on the basis of their main function. He defines three types: conative, expressive and reprentative.
Buhler’s ideas are further developed by Katharina Reiss (1971). Her text typology is 1) the informative text where the content is the main focus. (The texts do plain communication of facts, information, knowledge, opinions etc.); 2) the expressive text where the focus is on creative composition and aesthetics. (Both the author or the nder and the message are what are foregrounded. Imaginative creative literature exemplifies the texts. ); 3) the operative text where the focus is “appellative” by which what is meant is that the text appeals to the reader to act in a certain way, persuading, dissuading, requesting, and cajoling him. This form of language is usually dialogic or conversational.
In addition, Reiss defines a fourth category, audio-visual texts. This is a sort of mixed category, which can include texts from all the other categories, as long as they are intended
for audio-visual media.
