1 Registerbegrebets teoretiske forankring og dets brug ift. uddannelsen i virksomhedskommunikation Thomas Hestbæk Andersen 7. Nordiska SFL-Workshoppen, Södertörns högskola, 17. november Register i forskellige udklædninger Ure og Ellis definerer et register som...a subdivision of a given language, a situational variety constituted by a selection of choices from among the total linguistic options offered by that specific language (Ure & Ellis 1977, p. 198). 1

2 3 Register i forskellige udklædninger Lyons om register: systematic variation (...) [of] use in relation to social context (Lyons 1977, p. 584) Lyons om province :...the features of language which identify an utterance with those variables in an extralinguistic context which are defined with reference to the kind of occupational or professional activity being engaged in (ibid., p. 582), Jf. Firths begreb restricted languages (jf. også Halliday & Hasan 1985, p. 39f.), som han anvender om sprogbrug, der er kendetegnende for et bestemt field of experience and action (Firth 1957, p. 124), og som har its own grammar and dictionary (ibid., p. 87). 4 Register i forskellige udklædninger Mey opererer inden for pragmatikken med register i betydningen...the ability people possess to indicate and change their attitude towards their interlocutors, using linguistic means (Mey 1993, p. 40). 2

3 5 Register i forskellige udklædninger Leech knytter an til Hallidays registerdefinition, som han operationaliserer med tre analytiske hovedvariabler, nemlig 1. style of discourse, som fokuserer på Relations between participants 2. mode, som omhandler, hvordan the message is transmitted from source to audience 3. role, som drejer sig om den sociale funktion, sproget har i en aktuel situation. 6 Register i forskellige udklædninger Holmes (om register inden for sociolingvistikken):...language variation which reflects changes in situational factors, such as addressee, setting, task or topic (Holmes 1992, p. 276). Style : Journalese, baby-talk, legalese, the language of auctioneers, race-callers, and sports commentators, the language of airline pilots, criminals, financiers, politicians and disc jockeys, the language of the court room and the classroom... (Holmes 1992, p. 276). 3

4 7 Register i forskellige udklædninger de Beaugrande og Dressler opererer i deres beskrivelse af tekstlingvistikken som en del af standarden intertekstualitet med begrebet text types : classes of texts expected to have certain traits for certain purposes (de Beaugrande & Dressler 1981, p. 182). 8 Register i SFL Halliday Halliday definerer første gang register i 1964, hvor han definerer begrebet som variety according to use (Halliday et al. 1964, p. 77). Denne definition skal forstås i lyset af dialekt som variety according to user (ibid., p. 77). 4

5 9 Register i SFL Halliday 10 Register i SFL Halliday En mere elaboreret registerdefinition:...the configuration of semantic resources that the member of a culture typically associates with a situation type (Halliday 1978, p. 111). It is by their formal properties that registers are defined. If two samples of language activity from what, on nonlinguistic grounds, could be considered different situation-types show no differences in grammar and lexis, they are assigned to one and the same register: for the purposes of the description of the language there is only one situation-type here, not two (Halliday et al. 1964, p. 89). 5

6 11 Register mellem system og tekst System System Register Tekst Tekst 12 Register i SFL Halliday Registervariation:...systematic variation in probabilities; a register is a tendency to select certain combinations of meanings with certain frequencies, and this can be formulated as the probabilities attached to grammatical systems, provided such systems are integrated into an overall system network in a paradigmatic interpretation of the grammar (Ghadessy 1993, p. 6). 6

7 13 Register i SFL Martin register is used (...) to refer to the semiotic system constituted by the contextual variables field, tenor and mode (Martin 1992, p. 502). 14 Register og genre; Halliday og Martin Hallidays register: sproglig variation ift. brugen. Martins register: et kontekststratum; field, tenor og mode. Hallidays genre: alment begreb. Martins genre:...a staged, goal-oriented, purposeful activity in which speakers engage as members of our culture (Martin 1984, p. 25). 7

It will specify the relevant values within context of situation and show how the situation is staged generically, it will specify the overall semantics of the register realizing the situation type and the realization of the situation stages, and it will also specify lower-level linguistic realizations (Matthiessen 1993, p. 251). 18 Registeranalyse 9
