Abstract:

A fully updated and expanded second edition of this flagship work, which
introduces methodological techniques to carry out analyses of text varieties,
and provides descriptions of the most important text varieties in English.
Part I introduces an analytical framework for studying registers, genre
conventions, and styles, while Part II provides more detailed corpus-based
descriptions of text varieties in English, including spoken interpersonal
varieties, general and professional written varieties and emerging electronic
varieties. Part III introduces more advanced analytical approaches and deals
with larger theoretical concerns, such as the relationship between register
studies and other sub-disciplines of linguistics, and practical applications
of register analysis. A new chapter on EAP and ESP has been added, with new
sections on the important differences between academic writing in the
humanities and sciences, and a case study on engineering reports as an ESP
register and genre. Coverage of new electronic registers has been updated, and
a new analysis of hybrid registers has been added.
