Register is defined as how a speaker uses language differently in different circumstances. Think about words you choose, your tone of voice, even your body language. Registers in linguistics are marked by a variety of specialized vocabulary and turns of phrases, colloquialisms and the use of jargon, and a difference in intonation and pace; in "The Study of Language," linguist George Yule describes the function of jargon as helping "to create and maintain connections among those who see themselves as 'insiders' in some way and to exclude 'outsiders.'"
