Research into language & register of DPS
After looking closely at the register of this double page spread it was apparent that the language is entertaining and almost lyrical, this has been achieved by use of dry humour and wit and makes the article an easy read. Despite the friendly tone of the spread and use of abbreviations there is excessive use of complex sentences such as 'Indeed, while the formula of a concept album... own weight on the album' and advanced vocabulary like 'fruition' and 'rejuvenated' which causes it to feel more formal and sophisticated. there is noticeably use of punctuation such as full stops, comma's, exclamation marks and hyphens, also language techniques like rhetorical questions and alliteration of 'Dangerously Devious Dani' have been incorporated. Quotations and positive representation of Dani's band makes the article believable as well as emotive and active language. Constant mention of the bands song titles and albums is a good source of promotion and informs the readers a great deal. The overall reaction this article achieves is the reaction of surprise and interest, the register has cleverly been adapted to intrigue buyers to the band.
