Register & Style SREEJA TIRKEY

Register The words the writer uses for a particular occupation. Technical terms used in each profession or field. Eg: classroom, homework, detention etc related to school. Diagnosis, observation, cardiac arrest etc in medical field.

Style Includes the following Word choice: author’s choice of words Syntax: the way words are arranged to form sentences. Syntax encompasses word order, sentence length, sentence focus, and punctuation.

Five Main Language Styles (register) The ultra-formal style : a very formal way of addressing an audience. Uses archaic language (Thou, Hath, Thee, etc.) Longer sentences with complex ideas.

The Formal Style Difficult words (abstract nouns) Eg. Liberty, hegemony, sanctification, etc. Complex sentences with clauses Eg. “He had been prepared to lie, to bluster, to remain sullenly unresponsive; but, reassured by the good-humored intelligence of the Controller’s face, he decided to tell the truth, straightforwardly.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World.

The Modified Formal Style A greater number of plain English words Active voice used rather than passive: Active: The girl walked the dog. Passive: The dog was walked by the girl. The use of abbreviated verb forms Wouldn’t, can’t, shouldn’t

The Colloquial Style Everyday English- words you would use when talking to your friends/family. Filler words used: Eg. Like, know what I mean, o.k., etc. Shorter more assertive sentences: This is crazy!

The ultra-colloquial style VERY CASUAL Speaking style (easy words): Eg: Yo, How’s it goin’? Omits main verbs: Whatcha gonna do? He [would] like to go but he can’t. Omits little function words (a, of, to):

Style also includes : Stylistic devices: hyperbole, imagery, irony, etc. Phonology: alliteration, assonance Graphology: presentational devices: bullets, block capitals for headlines, etc.
