Language and register

register means and refers to the style of language employed by a publication. The registers you use when talking to your friends or when talking to a child are very different. We use these different registers or styles of language all of the time, adapting and adjusting as we go. Print publications must decide on appropriate register and this becomes one of the defining features of the publications.
Its also the term used to described  the type of images and lanuage is used as some magazines for example some would have swear words like a rock magazine, but magaqzinews like vogue would not have swearing in them becasue its a completely different genre.

In my work im going to use a specfic type of language and register so it appeals to the audience im aiming at more. This is beacsue i dont want to have the wrong content or look as it wont appeal to my target market. For example oi would not have childish language in my magazine or hipster language as its not mainstream. Ther sort of magazine i have created is a rough and completely none mainstream magazine so swearing and specific termonolgy will be used.Thios is why my genre of magazine is known to have edgy titles and sontreversial headiong. Aftert studying other magazines simliar to my genre i came to the conclusion this would appeal the best ,as my magazine is different quirky and very much repleing the typical genres we hear on the radio and at partys.
