Abstract:

Language varies according to the situation in which it is used and these varieties of language can be referred to as registers. If we examine textwe can make guesses about situation. If we are in a particular situation we make certain linguistic choices based on that situation. In other words, the language we use needs to be appropriate to the situation in which we use it. Language varieties refers to any form of a language whether regional dialect or social dialect or some other language code. Most of us range of language forms that differ in some ways from the Standard English that has been codified in grammar books and upheld by efforts to prescribe the way that people use. The language variety that a person associates with a particular social or regional identity may carry much psychological and emotional weight.
