- This paper examines the prevalent contextual factors involved in the work of middle managers as they read and classify e-mail within two Canadian public administrations. Looking at e-mail through the lens of pragmatics and genre theory, the intent here is to devise a solution to alleviate issues associated with e-mail management practices. Resulting from this research, the E-mail Pragmatic Framework is presented. This framework takes into account prevailing individual, contextual and textual factors in the reading and classification of e-mail. As an alternative to speech act theory, a typology of e-mail pragmatic functions aiming to capture the expectations of middle managers as they interact with the e-mail genre is outlined.
