Styles and Register

According to Wardhaugh (2012) says that speakers can

adopt different styles of speaking. One can speak very formally
or very informally, his/her choice being governed by
circumstances.
For example:
1. ceremonial occasions require very formal speech
2. public lectures somewhat less formal
3. casual conversation quite informal and conversations
between intimates on matters of little importance may be
extremely informal and casual
So it depends on individuals and circumstances in which what
style is needed.

The level of speaker formality can be chosen to a variety

factors such below:
1. Kind of occasion
2. The various social, age, and other differences that exist
between participants
3. The particular task is that it involves: speaking, writing
4. Emotional environment of one or more of the participants
All these levels help define the appropriateness and the
inappropriateness of how we say something
According to Wardhaugh (2012) Registers are sets of
language items associated with discrete occupational or social
groups such as Surgeon, airlines pilots, bank managers, sales
clerks, jazz fans and pimps employ different registers.
