fictional or fictional events. Besides, the word 'story' may be used as a synonym of 'narrative', but can also be used to refer to the sequence of events described in chronological order. On the other hand, an argumentative genre is a kind of controversial writing, which tries to verify, defend or support the subject that is proposed. It is a kind of writing whose main purpose is to persuade the reader to accept the writers belief or opinion. Hence, the terms argument and persuasion are applied interchangeably in much of research. The present study aimed to compare narrative and argumentative genres in terms of grammatical structures, lexical items, and genre features. This study is considered as a text analysis. Data were collected by studying several related books and 195 articles in terms of grammatical structures, lexical items, and genre features. Therefore, the features of narrative and argumentative genres were tabulated as well as descriptive statistics in detail.

Consequently, the conception of genre has emerged. The word genre originates from the French (and originally Latin) word for 'kind' or 'class'. It is viewed as a group of communicative events realized by members of the same discourse community. Accordingly, a narrative genre is considered as an account of any occurrence and constructive format of speech, writing, song, film, and theatre that illustrates a sequence of non.
