Dimensions of Register Variation: A Cross-Linguistic Comparison
The book extends and refines the research and methodology reported in the author’s ground-breaking Variation Across Speech and Writing, and adds for the first time a diachronic dimension. In it he gives a linguistic analysis of register in four widely differing languages: English, Nukulaelae Tuvaluan, Korean, and Somali. Striking similarities as well as differences emerge, allowing to predict for the first time cross-linguistic universals of register variation.
Classroom Discourse Analysis: A Functional Perspective
This book offers a model of classroom discourse analysis that uses systemic functional linguistic theory and associated genre theory to develop a view of classroom episodes as "curriculum genres", some of which operate in turn as part of larger unities of work called "curriculum macrogenres". Drawing on Bernstein's work, Christie argues that two registers operate in pedagogic discourse: a regulative register, to do with the goals and directions of the discourse; and an instructional register, to do with the particular "content" or knowledge at issue.
