Abstract
This paper analyzes style and register in English, showing how language varies by context and communicative purpose. Style reflects the choices of speakers or writers, while register indicates language variation across social and functional contexts. Differences between functional style and register are discussed in terms of lexical, grammatical, and discourse features, highlighting language adaptation and its role in communication.
