Registers, genres, and styles describe fundamental varieties of language characterized by co-occurrence patterns of different linguistic features. While the notion ‘register’ focuses on those that are functionally adapt, ‘genre’ foregrounds conventional use and ‘style’ aesthetic preference associated with particular historical periods or authors. This class will introduce an analytical framework for studying different varieties in English, spoken, written and electronically transmitted ones. Assignments depend on whether the summer term will be taught online or on campus. They may include a quiz, presentations or papers.
