The article is dedicated to a comparable analysis of notions “format” and “genre”. It is shown, that the word “format”, widely spread in practice has a vague meaning and is not a term so far. The genre retains its terminological meaning, but the notions “speech genre” and “newspaper (journalistic) genre” are often being mixed up.
