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?

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

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. |
