The article deals with the intergenre factor in genre studies. It is proved that a description of almost any genre that claims to be adequate from almost any point of view must necessarily consider how the genre relates to other genres: in a narrow meaning, within various typologies, in a broad meaning – within a national genre sphere or a set of different national genre spheres.

The article discusses the legitimacy and appropriateness of using the concept of genre sphere in modern genre studies, by analogy with other “spheres” used in many modern humanities, for example, in conceptology. The author concludes that the genre sphere objectively exists, but the use of the genre sphere as a concept in genre studies also has objective pros and cons.
