We tell our thoughts, like our children, to put on their hats and coats before they go out.

Register defined
Sociolinguistics =
the intersection of language and society
How does language reflect society? How does language shape society?
“Questions of language are basically questions of power.” Noam Chomsky, quoted by S. Romaine

A simple observation:
In different situations, people use different forms of language.
![Page 7: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Depending on the situation, we use different words and phrases
For example, to refer to death:died, passed away, passed, passed on, moved on, expired, croaked, bought the farm, passed from life temporal to life spiritual, went to meet her Maker, be taken, meet one’s end, perish, kick the bucket
different grammatical patterns Gimme a dime. Could I trouble you for the time? Do call me.

How do we start to analyze register? Depending on the situation –
So - look first at the components of the situation.
What is actually taking place? Where?
Who is taking part? What is their relationship?
What part is language playing?

A fancy academic definition
The concept of register is typically concerned with variations in language conditioned by uses rather than users and involves consideration of the situation or context of use, the purpose, subject-matter and content of the message, and the relationship between the participants.
Suzanne Romaine, 1994
![Page 11: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Register refers to: the variations in language which reflect
the particular situation
the goals of the communication
the relationship between the speakers power education intimacy

Joos’ Five ClocksThe concept of register has been around a long time. introduced in the 50s. Martin Joos outlined it clearly in his 1961 book The
Five Clocks. quoted, referred to, kicked around by many others:
Cheryl Carter, Suzanne Romaine, and also Ruby Payne in her book A Framework for Understanding Poverty.

Frozen printed, unchanging language, formal, almost scripted
phrases that do not vary
Examples: The BibleThe Lord’s PrayerThe Pledge of AllegianceLawsPreamble to the US Constitution
![Page 14: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Formal One way communication, no interruptions Used in impersonal, formal settings Follows a commonly accepted format - complete sentences,
more complex syntax and specific word usages Often used to show respect
Examples: Introductions between strangers Rhetorical statements and questions Speeches, pronouncements made by judges, announcements standard for work, school, public offices and business settings
![Page 15: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consultative Two way participation, professional setting Background information is provided (prior
knowledge is not assumed). Interruptions and feedback fillers allowed (“uh-huh”,
“I see”). More complex syntax, longer phrases
Examples Doctor:patient, lawyer:client, lawyer:judge Teacher:student, Superior:subordinate Colleagues:peers
![Page 16: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Casual Very informal language, slang is common No background information provided “Group” language – must be a member to use Interruptions common Context and non-verbal communication important
Examples: friends and acquaintances family teammates chats and blogs
![Page 17: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Intimate Non-public Intonation as important as wording and grammar Often a private vocabulary
Examples: husband, wife boyfriend/girlfriend twins (siblings) pets, I would also add
Interesting to note here, this is the language of sexual harassment as well.

Wednesday 07/30/14You Need:
1.English Binder
2.Notes from yesterday’s class
3.Summer Read book
4.Something to write with
Reflect on your homework from last night:
What communication registers did you use most often? What do you think this reveals about you as an individual?
![Page 19: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How do we know what register to use? How does this work?
Language is behavior Part of our cultural code, unwritten rules Taught explicitly to children (and teens!) Absorbed as we mature Labored over consciously as we get older
in academic settings, or writing speeches other?
Mostly – we both learn registers and slip between them without conscious thought. It is part of being fluent in a language.
![Page 20: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Language is all about powerTo re-visit this idea –
We mark and judge people immediately upon
speaking with them. We make judgements about their educations their backgrounds their incomes their intelligence
We adjust ourselves in our relationship to them, according to each piece of linguistic information we receive.
![Page 21: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EXPECTATIONS keeping in mind language = power
We expect people in authority to speak a certain way, using the formal register. Businessmen Politicians Supervisors, administrators Professors, teachers Professionals (doctors, lawyers) TV Newscasters
![Page 22: Tuesday 07/29/14 Staple: Pink sheet Timed writing Rubric *Turn in to class bin.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022032805/56649ee75503460f94bf7da4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A simple truthYou must master the upper registers if you want to get to certain upper positions in American society.
(Barring rap stars, athletes, actors and some other groups. They seem to have a ticket to ignore language register requirements.)
