Default Re: Discourse analysis, pragmatic, jargon..questions?

Thank you so much Kon. You want to say that pragmatics has a particular time,place, number and person while Discourse analysis is not as pragmatics. Yes? If it is so, I completely get it. so;

Pragmatics;
-concrete
-general
-particular time, place, number
----------------------------------

Discourse analysis;

-Abstract
-more general
-not to do with place, number, time

Did I write correctly?

according to Raymott,
"Register is a style that you have used in a certain situation".......
So can we use "style" instead of "register"?

Well, then I can't explain why they use similar examples to illustrate these different concepts.

Yes, on the whole, that's a good start.

I don't think it's a style, he was just making it easy for you by simplifying.

Register is like clothing -- the same person can wear bed clothes, a jogging suit, work attire, formal wear, a wedding dress.... many levels.

Register is like that, the different levels of formality we "wear" for a time. Each is appropriate in a certain situation.

Yes, I was. Register is different from style if both words are used technically. I was using "style" colloquially.

Speaking of technicalities, jargon as a linguistic term is not pejorative.
