Linguists identify features of register to include pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
Register is the way that language varies basedon what the individual is doing. Such variationsmay be affected by:
• What you are talking about;• To whom you are speaking;• Why you are talking;• What mode of communication you are using (e.g., written, spoken, or sign language); and• Your attitude to the situation.

• Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids’ magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage your child to do something other than watch the tube.
• Keep TVs out of your child’s bedroom.
• Turn the TV off during meals.
• Don’t allow your child to watch TV while doing homework.
• Treat the TV as a privilege that your child needs to earn – not a right to which he or she is entitled.
• Tell your child that TV viewing is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
TV time should be limited
