Generic integrity and generic shifts have been the two key issues in TS related to genre studies. \nThe problems that stem from the two approaches include linking normative statements of genre \nmembership of the texts to particular linguistic choices, distinguishing choices made under generic \nconstraints from translation shifts motivated by non-generic cross-linguistic contrasts and identifying \nwhat counts as generic shifts. Approaching genres in isolation and without any reference to generic \nstructures, typical textual composition and linguistic features often results in assigning generic status \nto random linguistic and compositional elements identified in the course of translation analysis. It is \nargued that the study of genre conventions in translation should be linked with the contrastive analysis \nof sets of related genres in SL and TL, the study of generic structures and interconnected sets of typical \nlinguistic choices
