Abstract

The study analyses the usage of register by Mobile Legends commentators during the Grand Final of MPL ID Season 10. It applies Biber & Conrad's (2019) register theory, using a descriptive qualitative method with total sampling. Data collection involves observing tournament videos, transcribing commentator speech containing Mobile Legends registers, and verifying through video review. The research identifies 25 Mobile Legends register instances, including 12 nouns, 1 verb, and 1 adjective. Additionally, 7 noun phrases and 1 adjective phrase are found as linguistic features. The study also uncovers 3 instances of abbreviations, a novel finding that aids efficient message conveyance, despite not being part of Biber & Conrad's theory. The research also examines situational context and functional relationships, including participants, relationships, sources, processing conditions, setting, communicative goals, and topics. Results indicate commentators aim to inform and entertain the audience by sharing insights about gameplay, hero abilities, player strategies, and other engaging phenomena. The researcher recommends further investigation using Biber & Conrad's (2019) theory for detailed explanation.
