What is a register?
It is the degree of formality of language.
It is the language used by a group of people who share similar work or interests, such as academic researchers, lawyers, friends, children, etc.
Martin Joo said there are 5 types of registers:
Frozen: static register, historic language, as Constitution or prayer.
Formal: a formal register is used in professional, academic, or legal settings where communication is expected to be respectful and restrained. Slang is never used and contractions are rare. Ex: academic paper, encyclopedia.
Consultative: talk to someone who has
specialized knowledge. The tone is often semi-formal and respectful, but may be more casual if the relationship is longstanding or friendly. Slang is sometimes used.
Casual: with friends, close acquaintances and co-workers, and family. It’s probably the one you think of when you consider how you talk with other people, often in a group setting. The use of slang and contractions are common. EX: birthday party.
Intimate: is reserved for special occasions, usually between only two people and often in private.Ex: inside joke among friends, a word whispered into love’s ear.
