摘要：This essay attempts to discuss the fallacies of a genre based classification of texts. It will stress the point that genres are not fixed and pre-given forms by thinking of texts as performances of genre rather than reproductions of a class to which they belong, and by following Austin's perlocutionary act in stressing the fact that the writer's intended locui ionary act might not be the same with the reader's perlocutionary act. If, after reading this essay, the reader is willing not to take for granted that such a text as Angels and Demons can be nothing else but a narrative, it will ha vc served its purpose.
