Abstract

This study aims to analyse the text genre "Motivationsschreiben", a document that must be prepared by applicants who aspire joining in a master's program or a scholarship in Germany. Based on a corpus of 30 "Motivationsschreiben" which were collected for the dissertation from the University of Leipzig and UFPR between February and July 2014 the analysis focused on the relevance, the communicative context and functions of the text genre.
