Many genres of discourse offer instructional and procedural semantic and pragmatic features which are expressed by common linguistic forms. Considering such regularities, one may be induced to treat them as a category or a type of text. As the article presents some of the common characteristics shared by recipes, assembly instructions, topographical guides, horoscopes and the tip columns that can be found in magazines, it shows that those permanent features are directly generated by the genres. Therefore they fall within the field of discourse analysis and not within that of a text grammar or a text typology.
