Linguistic register

Linguistic register is the language that you use when writing about a topic. The main point is to make your writing seem like you have a high level of grammar and to make your writing seem professional. Linguistic register is key when expressing a short film proposal because you want people to be interested and take your film seriously but how can they do that if the way your writing in unprofessional. 



This short paragraph demonstrates poor linguistic register.


 I believe that people should be treated fairly and should treat people how they would like to be treated and Abuse towards women is really well known and is especially known for the bad things behind it. why would they feel the need to abuse men and it happens to men more than people think. men getting abused is weird and there's something about their pride that makes them not tell anyone about it.


This paragraph is inappropriate due to the sentence structure being poor. The word "and" is overused to join points together rather than using a variety of punctuation. Also the vocabulary is poor such as words like "weird" and "bad". It demonstrates a very low level of writing which in this case would be unprofessional. 


This paragraph demonstrates good linguistic register. 


In life I believe that people should be treated fairly and should treat people how they would like to be treated themselves. Abuse towards women is so well known and is especially known for the trauma behind it, so why would they feel the need to abuse men? It turns out that men are abused more than people think. When males receive abuse, there's something about their pride that causes them to keep the situation hidden. 

This paragraph demonstrates good linguistic register due to the sentence structure being good and the punctuation is used in the appropriate places. Also the the grammar of the paragraph is at a high level which leads to the paragraph expressing the message in the most professional way. For example, "abuse men?" is a good example of punctuation in right place. In addition examples of good grammar would be "keep the situation is hidden".
