TY - JOUR AU - Senderska, Joanna PY - 2022/03/31 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Searching for Internet genres. Reviews on the Wizaz.pl portal as an example of so-called consumer reviews JF - Prace Językoznawcze JA - PJUWM VL - 24 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - 10.31648/pj.7611 UR - https://czasopisma.uwm.edu.pl/index.php/pj/article/view/7611 SP - 235-251 AB - <p>The article discusses genre features of utterances posted on the Wizaz.pl portal by its<br />users to express their opinions on the used cosmetics and their effect, and to rate them.<br />These utterances are an integral part of the website and constitute a kind of texts-opinions<br />which refer to the product description functioning as the text-mother. They are an example<br />of consumer reviews (opinions), i.e. online evaluations of products and services. The genre<br />status of such utterances is ambiguous. The author proposes a hypothesis that this Internet<br />genre was created by adapting some features of the genre pattern of Internet comment<br />to the genre pattern of opinion. She also does not reject definitely the possibility of genre<br />autonomy of the so-called consumer review.</p> ER -
