This article could use some style shifting of its own. It's very dense. aeonite (talk) 17:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Merger proposal
- The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The proposed target of merger, Register (linguistics) is a redirect to Register (sociolinguistics). Obviously, this page should not be merged to the former.
I oppose merger with the latter. Although style and register are similar topics, there are distinct histories and literatures on each topic in linguistics and sociolinguistics. More importantly, style-shifting is a sub-topic of sociolinguistic discussions of style. Register is not. Cnilep (talk) 17:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Technical
This article may be fine for linguistics students but is far too technical for a general encyclopedia. It's almost entirely framed in jargon and specialist terminology and I'm pretty much none the wiser after reading it. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
