Isn't there another meaning of "register" in linguistics, having to do with tone languages? -- Angr/ tɔk tə mi 09:15, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
I found this sentence in a Hungarian source (my own translation into English):
Could you possibly help me find the original English quotation by Shaw himself? (Maybe it's related to the topic of this article.)

Hello. Does someone know much about the cross-linguistic variation of register usage? I'm a native Hebrew speaker, and I have noticed that "contractions" seem to be associated with more formal registers than "full" forms, which is strikingly contradictory with English usage- though this might have to do with these "contractions" preserving synthetic aspects of Biblical Hebrew which are being lost in Modern Standard Hebrew, which is increasingly analytic. (As an example, "anu" is the formal variant of "anakhnu", the first person plural pronoun) This is all mere anecdote, unfit for encyclopedic formats. I was mostly wondering if others thought this might be a good research thread to expand the article, in which case I will try to find some scholarly works on the subject.

This topic is intimately connected to code switching, but doesn't refer to that article or topic, and as such gives undue weight to a particular type of register use.
Article currently reads As with other types of language variation, there tends to be a spectrum of registers rather than a discrete set of obviously distinct varieties—numerous registers can be identified, with no clear boundaries between them. That's true but misleading and again undue weight (and unsourced). When code switching is involved, either by a single user or by a community, the registers tend to be quite distinct.

Added citation flag because all the in-line citations are in APA style, not in Wiki style.
I may come back and try to fix them at some point but have a few things higher on my queue. Elizabeth.f.chamberlain ( talk) 05:42, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
The page on Style says 'register' and 'style' are sometimes considered interchangeable. This page literally uses the word 'style' to refer to registers. I propose that either: - these pages should be merged; or - the language should be cleaned up so as to retain their distinctness. In the second case, it would be beneficial to explain the difference between them on one or both pages. I have no idea what the difference might be; in my education, we referred only to register. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apollo reactor ( talk • contribs) 17:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
