'I kindly ask for a positive response to my request' - An Analysis of Students' Applications and the Theory of Text Genres

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the analysis is students' applications for the allowance to have a committee exam. The aim of the research is defining systematic qualities of the texts and an analysis of their structure. The analyzed texts are defined as applications written by students after they have got a mark which they refuse to accept (usually unsatisfactory) to university authorities of different levels, including a request, accompanied with adequate arguments, to be allowed to have a committee exam. As the analysis shows, the texts have genre qualities of applications to institutions, which allow us to create a pattern for a students' application for an agreement to have a committee exam.
