Mode of Address and The Register

In this lesson we learnt about 'Mode of address' and 'The register'. This will help us when we make our magazine covers.

Mode of address: direct- 'you know you love her' this is direct as it is pointing to you, directly speaking to you
Mode of address: indirect- 'best dress team' this is when the text is not directly speaking to you

The register: formal- formal language
informal- some slang
colloquial- extreme slang
exlusive- appealing to certain people, dealing with a certain target
inclusive- appealing to everyone
