Register

A register is a subset of a language used for a particular purpose or social

setting. The term register was first used by linguist (language expert) Thomas
Reid in 1956 to describe the different forms of speech and writing.

Levels of formality

The levels of formality of language, whether spoken or written, depend on the

formality of situation and the people involved in the communication situations.

Structures of registers:

- Formal (Static/Frozen, Formal, Consultative)

- Informal (Casual, Intimate)

Slang

Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered
standard in a given language but may be considered more acceptable when used
socially.

(Wife to Husband) screwdriver?
- Hi honey, how was your day?
- Great. We got a lot done. And (Subordinate to Superior - at work)
