At the session led by Marie Doerner, we talked about different registers.
1. The frozen register
The frozen register uses a fixed, consistent tone. It is often emotionless. The content is pre-set. There is no deviation. It is serious. Body language is rigit and upright to show the appropriate respect. Dress is usually formal. Different generations may have different expectations.
2. The formal register
The formal register does not use slang, colloquialisms, or swearing. Participation is limited, and the focus is restricted to the topic. Clothing is formal. Body language is formal. Participants receive information and follow formal rules or directions. Participants stay and topic! Volume of voice is kept at an appropriate level and personal space is maintained at an appropriate distance. The conversation begins and ends appropriately. Participants wait their turn to speak.
3. The consultative register
The consultative register is about negotiation. Participants maintain eye contact. One person has more information/power/responsibility. The participants must discern the appropriate amount of information to disclose.
