Abstract: Books blurbs are considered as an individual genre, which has its own communicative purposes and linguistic features. More specifically, books blurbs are identified as a hybrid genre that belongs to a colony of promotional (advertising) genre. The main purpose of such a genre is not only to provide the prospective reader with information about what the book is about but it evaluates the quality of the book to make it more attractive to buy The current study aims to investigate the ways in which science books blurbs differ from or similar to literature books blurbs. It also aims to investigate the generic structure of books blurbs in terms of moves. Furthermore, this study explores the linguistics and what kinds of lexogrammar features are used in science and literature books blurbs. To meet these aims, this study focuses on fourteen science blurbs in different disciplines involving (Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Medicine, Biology, Computer Science and Agriculture) and fourteen literature books blurbs in four different disciplines involving (Novel, Drama, Poetry and literary criticism). These blurbs are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The data are analyzed by adopting Gea-Valor (2005) classifications of generic structure in terms of moves and linguistic features to identify the communicative purposes of books blurbs genre. In addition, Halliday’s transitivity system (2004) is adopted to analyze lexogrammar features for the purpose of identifying the communicative conventions of books blurbs genre. It has been hypothesized that science and literature books blurbs have a typical scheme of generic (rhetorical) structure and purposes. In addition, Blurbs are more promotional in nature than informational. Furthermore, science books II blurbs are longer; employ more familiar language when they are compared with literature books blurbs. The major findings revealed that, the variability between science and literature books blurbs is not highly marked, this imposes the controlled dynamism and flexibility in the integrity of books blurbs genre. Books blurbs are structured into different moves; each move performs a particular function. Different linguistic strategies are employed in science and literature books blurbs but imperative constructions are rarely used in science blurbs, it has been found only in computer science discipline while they are absent in literature blurbs. The texts of science books blurbs are longer than literature books blurbs. Science and literature books blurbs have the same tendencies in applying transitivity systems. Simple present and active voice are the dominant structures in both disciplines.
