Linguistic Approach

Register research has been approached from differing theoretical and methodological approaches, resulting in different definitions of the term register. In the text-linguistic approach, which is the primary focus of this bibliography, register refers to text varieties that are defined by their situational characteristics, such as the purpose of writing and the mode of communication, among others. Texts that are similar in their situational characteristics also tend to share similar linguistic profiles, as situational characteristics motivate or require the use of specific linguistic features. Text-linguistic research on register tends to focus on two aspects: attempts to describe a register, or attempts to understand patterns of register variation. This research happens via comparative analyses, specific examinations of single linguistic features or situational parameters, and often via examinations of co-occurrence of linguistic features that are analyzed from a functional perspective. That is, certain lexico-grammatical features co-occur in a given text because they together serve important communicative functions that are motivated by the situational characteristics of the text (e.g., communicative purpose, mode, setting, interactivity). Furthermore, corpus methods are often relied upon in register studies, which allows for large-scale examinations of both general and specialized registers. Thus, the bibliography gives priority to research that uses corpus tools and methods. Finally, while the broadest examinations on register focus on the distinction between written and spoken domains, additional divisions of register studies fall under the categories of written registers, spoken registers, academic registers, historical registers, and electronic/online registers. This bibliography primarily introduces some of the key resources on English registers, a decision that was made to reach a broader audience.

AbstractThe advantages and limitations of national registers containing individual identification numbers in clinical epidemiological research are reviewed. The author concludes that such registers are very valuable for epidemiological research and for formulation of research questions of public health importance.

Hospital Utilisation

A total of 20680 patients hospitalised in Helsinki during 1970–1980 due to cerebrovascular diseases were found when screening the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register. The material was categorised according to three-digit ICD-8 diagnosis codes and age, and was analysed for case-fatality, length of stay and discharge status. By identifying all new cases an assessment of the incidence development during the study period was also possible. A fall in the overall age-standardised incidence of cerebrovascular disease was demonstrated, in accordance with disease register studies. The main reason was decline in incidence of haemorrhagic stoke (ICD-8 no. 431) and less well defined types of stroke (436–438). Ischaemic stroke (433), on the other hand, did not decrease in frequency. The diagnostic shift, occurring parallell with a growing mean age of patients, lead to decreasing acute mortality, increasing institutionalisation rates and longer stays in hospital, thus resulting in growing figures of hospital utilisation in spite of the declining incidence.
