i am confuse about that term...and i really need information about it | "Register" in linguistics is a term for a variety of speech which is used on specialised occasions. For example, a dentist will use a professional register at work (with dentists jargon, being polite to her patients, etc); at home she will use her wife/mother register (which would be more informal and relaxed, and may involve swearing and uttering endearments to her husband). When she goes shopping, she will probably use an intermediate register. |
