Abstract: The following article dwells on the theory of genre developed by N. L. Leiderman. The paper describes some researcher’s approaches taken to explore the category under discussion and interprets the definition of this phenomenon suggested by N. L. Leiderman. The author clarifies the way this theory intersects with other components of the system of the work, system of the writer’s creative works and eventually with the literary school. The theory of genre developed by N. L. Leiderman correlates with concepts of other scholars. The article concludes that N. L. Leiderman does not consider the theoretical model of genre as a tool of the classification code. Moreover, the researcher warns against taking these steps. He constructs it as an operating tool of the genre analysis or some genre tendencies.
