Language Register.

These are different types of registers i have researched that could be applicable to most magazines, newspapers etc.
Static Register - Where the content is set and never changes. For example biblical references or laws
Formal Registers - Usually impersonal. For example speeches and announcements.
Consultative Register - Mutually accepted form of communication. For example when you meet a stranger, conversation between a teacher and a student.
Casual Register - Used in friendship groups, slang can often occur. For example talking to your friend, 'gossiping' and emails.
Intimate Register - Private communication passed between family members, partners or other people who you have a close relationship with.
The register i will most likely use for my magazine is a casual register because it can relate better to my taget audience. However, i will mix some of the registers up as the genre of my magazine is Hip Hop and this is more of a serious filed and so may need to use registerss like formal register as well as being casual.
