 THE LANGUAGE
REGISTERS

IT IS THE LEVEL OF FORMALITY AND STYLE OF OUR SPEECH OR WRITING

IT SHOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITUATION WE ARE IN.
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND PEOPLE CALL FOR DIFFERENT REGISTERS.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH
LANGUAGE
REGISTER IS
APPROPRIATE TO USE?
DECIDING WHICH LANGUAGE
REGISTER IS APPROPRIATE
DEPENDS ON THE:

AUDIENCE
TOPIC
PURPOSE
SITUATION
 AUDIENCE

Different audience require

differing types of language.
The way you speak to
a group

who has the same age
as you is different from your
manner of speaking to a group
of professionals. In writing, you
also modify the formality of
the language, like the
vocabulary, and tone
depending on who the writing
is intended for.

 TOPIC

Subject areas and topics need

particular styles of speech and
writing.

historians, artists, musicians, and
other use differing style when
speaking about or writing about
the subject and the topic at hand

 PURPOSE

You should clearly understand the

purpose for writing or speaking.
What is your objective or
intention? Is it to inform,
persuade, entertain, argue, make
a request, or other purposes? By
knowing your purpose, you will be
able to choose appropriate words
to get your meaning across to
your audience. https://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/how-to/growth-strategies/2015/11/how-to-discover-and-apply-the-power-of-
