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.
