Thanks, John, and also Hugh. I already answered the point of people having more than one sociolect -- true. It is of course true that register and sociolect interact heavily, and in some (especially older) work "register" is used in a generalized sense that sometimes even includes dialects. But I disagree with Peter Trudgill in this point -- technolects are characteristic of certain social (professional) groups and thus belong to the social dimension. That these groups use the technical vocabulary etc. only in certain settings is indeed also related to the situation dimension, and it may well be that there are no informal or vulgar idiolects that belong to certain technolects and vice versa that idiolects belonging to vulgar registers do not belong to certain technolects (but rather socially neutral varieties). I don't have all the answers here -- I just argue that we can only address these issues if we recognize that there are two different dimensions, and try to keep them apart (and then identify the interferences between them). That's what ISO 21636 provides. As to the term "register", I disagree with you, Hugh. The south-east Asian and the pitch-related usages are by far not the default applications for the term -- a simple web search on "registers linguistics" shows that clearly. Anyways, which alterantive term would you propose for the varieties in the situation dimension (such as formal, neutral, informal/familiar and vulgar registers)? I do not know any other established term than "register". Best greetings, Sebastian -- Museu P.E. Goeldi, CCH, Linguistica ▪ Av.
