對韓禮德而言，所有語言都涉及三種同時生成的元功能 ：一種詮釋我們內外部世界的經驗（概念），另一種制定社會關係（人際關係），而第三種則將這兩個功能編織在一起以創建文本（文本-措辭）
Halliday presents the semiotic structure of a situation under three headings, namely, field, mode and tenor, which form the integrated system of “register” (1994, p. 26).
-
Field: This refers to the subject matter or content of the text – what is happening, what is being talked about.
-
Tenor: This describes the participants involved in the communication, including their roles and relationships – who is involved and what their roles are in the interaction.
-
Mode: This refers to the channel of communication – how the communication is taking place, whether it is spoken or written, and the degree of formality.

M.A.K. Halliday, who was one of the first linguists to pay special attention to the concept of 'register' in the 1960s and 1970s, interprets this notion as “a semantic concept” which “can be defined as a configuration of meanings that are typically associated with a particular situational configuration of field, mode, and tenor.” (Halliday 1990, 38f.)
Field of discourse is defined as “the total event, in which the text is functioning, together with the purposive activity of the speaker or writer. The analysis of this parameter focuses on the entire situation, e.g. when a mother talks to her child.
The mode of discourse refers to “the function of the text in the event, including therefore both the channel taken by the language – spoken or written, extempore or prepared – and its [genre], or rhetorical mode, as narrative, didactic, persuasive, ‘phatic communion’ and so on” (Halliday 1994, 22). When analyzing the mode of a text, the main question is ‘What is achieved by the use of language in this context?’ For example, a fairy tale (in written form) may have a narrative or entertaining function.
Tenor of discourse (sometimes also referred to as style; cf. Esser 2009, 78) describes the people that take part in an event as well as their relationships and statuses. “The tenor refers to the type of role interaction, the set of relevant social relations, permanent and temporary, among the participants involved” (Halliday 1994, 22.). There might be a specific hierarchy between the interlocutors, e.g. when the head of a business talks to an employee, or they may have only a temporary relationship, e.g. when a person asks an unknown pedestrian for the time.
