Register analysis has been defined by Michael Halliday as an attempt to analyze the linguistic foundations of language we use in given situations, and the ways in which the language we speak or write varies according to the type of situation. Register analysis has been a strong research area in linguistics for several decades. Many people are now working with examples of genuine texts in the hope of establishing the linguistic features which characterize them. Text linguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics and register and genre all depend on communicative events which have taken place.
Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), This is the Register is from the Reading genre strand Stories with Familiar Settings, a strand where children can identify with the setting and characters and make links with their own experiences. This is the Register is one of nine books written by Tony Bradman and illustrated by Priscilla Lamont. Each story features the children of Class 1 and their teacher, Miss Miller. Young readers will easily relate to the kind of situations in which the children of Class 1 find themselves, and will enjoy meeting the same characters across the nine books.
This book gives you different words that you can use when you are writing or speaking about three important topics - those of communication, emotions and movement. Each section takes a 'core' word that you probably know well and gives you the most useful synonyms for it, as well as related words with a different part of speech. There are also notes that highlight some differences of register, grammar, and collocation. Some of the words are shown together with their opposites, e.g. satisfied and dissatisfied.

The York Mystery Cycle and the Worship of the City
The York Play is the earliest near-complete English civic mystery cycle. It evolved constantly throughout its long performance history, but the text that was recorded in the York Register shows that it was already a mature and elaborate civic festival by the time it was written down. This study uncovers the Cycle's connection with worship in York, in the sense both of devotional practice and of civic honour, informing a particular period in the cultural history of the city. The pageants in the Register show in their different ways how the community which devised and performed the Cycle regarded the celebration of the great summer feast of Corpus Christi.
