The proposal of this paper, situated at the meeting point of linguistics and poetics, is to discuss
the applicabilty of same selected prototypical thesis to the research on litterary genres. It
examines the following questions: status and internal structure of generic categorisations
(hierarchical levels, gra-duality), J.-M. Adam's sequential theory, origin of prototypicality
judgements in literature, archetype-prototype relation, difficulties in prototypical analysis of
generic hybridity
