Linguistic Analysis: Style, Register, and Mode
At AS Level (Syllabus 9093), you must analyze how style, register, and mode construct meaning: 1. Style: Lexical choices (high-frequency vs low-frequency words, jargon), grammar (sentence types), and figurative language. 2. Register: Formal, informal, colloquial, or academic. 3. Mode: Spoken, written, or multi-modal (digital). Transcripts must be analyzed for spoken features like pauses, overlaps, and fillers.
Key Lesson Takeaways
- Register reflects social relationships.
- Spoken language features are structurally distinct.
- Comparative commentary contrasts lexical choices.
