INTRODUCTION
This study entitled "Register Analysis on Philippine Movie Advertisements of Star Cinema" was conducted to have the following goals: first, to characterize linguistic factors such as diction and language variety and second, to characterize non-linguistic factors such as types of movies.
This research is expected to be beneficial for the students, the advertisers and the other researchers. It shows a specific example of register namely the register on Philippines movie advertisement. This can be used as an additional reference for studying language and creating advertisements text that is considered to be efficient and effective for attracting and encouraging readers to make use of the company with its products and services. Moreover, the results of this research also can be hopefully used as a reference for those who are interested in analyzing language variety, especially the one in movie advertisement.
Communication also happens in the business and industry. The most common form of communication in business and industry is between the manufacturers and the consumers. In business, someone will do everything to get the maximum profit and the success of his/her company. One of their effects is through advertisement. It represents pictures of life in daily life. Advertisements are identified as the texts that do their best to get people‟s attentions to make them turn toward them (Goddard, 1998: 6). The purposes of advertisements are to influence and motivate the public to buy and use the products or services or to follow the ideas. The advertisers spread the information of their products by using appropriate and effective language. By using appropriate and effective language, the customers will get impression of the product offered then they will decide to buy them. Movie advertisement is the kind of advertisement to promote the movie itself. The advertiser wants to give the information of certain movie and try to attract the readers to watch the movie. Therefore, he or she uses interesting and attractive languages.
Language is an important media in communication. It is impossible to conduct social cooperation and communication without language. Language makes people understand each other. That is the reason why language and society should be studied together in the field of sociolinguistics. According to Holmes (1992), particularly, sociolinguistics studies the relationship between language and society. They are interested in explaining why people speak differently in different social contexts, and they are concerned with identifying the social functions of language and the ways it is used to convey social meaning (1992: 1). Meanwhile, Finegan & Biber say that the term sociolinguistics draws a distinction between the sociology of language,’with a focus on sociological matters, and sociolinguistics,’ with a focus on language (1994: 3).
Register
Language plays an important role in the daily life of human beings. Hence, it is commonly understood that language exists in a society. They are interdependent. In other words, the language needs the society where it exists, and the society needs the language in their daily life.
Hartman and Stork (in Alwasilah, 1985: 63) states that register is a variety of language for specific purposes, as opposed to a social or regional dialect (which varies by the speaker). Register may be more narrowly defined by reference to subject matter (Field of Discourse, e.g. the jargon of fishing, gambling, etc), to medium (Mode of Discourse, e.g. printed material, written letter, message on tape etc), or to level of formality (Manner of Discourse, e.g. formal, casual, intimate, etc).
Trudgill (1974) defines that register is a language variety that is shaped by the work environment.
“Occupational linguistic varieties of that sort have been register, and likely to occur in any situation involving members of particular profession or occupation.”(1974: 104).
This view is supported by Wardaugh (1992):
“Register is another complicating factor in any study of language varieties. Registers are sets of vocabulary items associated with discrete occupational or social group.”(1992: 49).
Meanwhile, Chaika (1994: 42) argues, “A style may be associated with a particular social occasion. Then it is called register or functional variety of speech.” Moreover, Finegan & Biber view register in the sociolinguistic perspective. They state that if sociolinguistics is a wide-ranging term, register is equally tough to corral. Broadly conceived, a register is a language variety viewed with respect to its context of use (Finegar & Biber, 1994: 4). Besides, they also argue that register entails text and implies a relationship between text and context (ibid: 7).
The register study has four specific characteristics as what has been stated by Atkinson and Biber (ibid: 352). The characteristics are:

1) Register studies involve descriptive analysis of actually occurring discourse. 2.) Register studies aim to characterize language varieties. 3) Register studies present formal linguistic characterizations of language varieties 4) Register studies also analyze the situational characteristics of language varieties, and functional or conventional relationships between form and situation are posited.
From the definitions above, we may conclude that sociolinguistic views of each register are different from the others. The difference can be analyzed from different points of view.
Further, Halliday and Hasan (1985) propose three aspects that make register different from each other. The three aspects are field, tenor, and mode. They say that register is a configuration of meaning that is typically associated with a particular situational configuration of field, tenor and mode. Moreover, registers may be narrowly defined by reference to subject matter (Field of Discourse), to medium (Mode of Discourse), or to level of formality (Manner of Discourse) (Hartmann & Stork, in Alwasilah, 1985: 63). Then, Alwasilah, makes the register diagram based on that opinion.
Diction
Language is used by human beings in their daily life as a means of communication. In communicating process, someone will choose certain words.
One word is arranged together with the other words to make the perfect utterance. Moreover, someone who is rich on wording, he or she will be able to choose the proper words to express his or her ideas.
According to Keraf (2004: 24), choice of words or diction is the ability to differentiate the meaning of ideas and to find out word which is proper with the situation, condition and feeling of the hearer. Meanwhile, in www.wikipedia.com, it states that diction, in its original, primary meaning, refers to the writer's or the speaker's distinctive vocabulary choices and style of expression. Diction has multiple concerns; register — words being either formal or informal in social context — is foremost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diction). In advertisement, the advertiser should know the consumers well. It means he or she knows for whom the advertisement is dedicated. Therefore, the diction plays important role in advertisement to attract the consumers since the purpose of advertisement is to influence the consumers to use or buy the product (Sudiana, 1986: 12)
Stylistic and Style 1.1 Stylistic
The term of style is different from stylistic. In analyzing the language style, it requires a particular approach called as stylistic. Stylistic is the study of the use of language style. In Kamus Linguistik, Kridalaksana states that the term stylistic means (1) Study of language used in literature, interdisciplinary science between linguistic and literature (2) Linguistic application on language style in literature (2001: 202). Meanwhile, Turner (in Lyons, 1981) states, ―Stylistics is the part of linguistics which concentrates on variation in the use of language often, but not exclusively, with a special attention to the most conscious and complex uses of language in literature‖ (1977: 614). Further, he argues “Stylistics means the study of style with suggestion from the form of the word, of a scientific or at least a methodical study.” (1977: 615)
From the definitions above, stylistics does not only mean of the study of language style in literature but also style in linguistic. The conclusion is in line with what has been written in www.wikipedia.com, ‘Stylistic is the study of varieties of language whose properties position that language in context. For example, the language of advertising, politics, religion, individual authors, etc‘. (http//www.wikipedia.com/stylistic)
1.2 Style Style is a kind of language varieties. Keraf (2004: 113) explains that style or language style is considered as the way to show the mind through particular language which expresses soul and character. Moreover, he classifies style into several ways, such as:
a) Style based on diction; formal, informal and conversational (2004: 117)
b) Style based on intonation; high, middle, and low (ibid: 121)
c) Style based on sentence structure: climax, anti-climax, parallelism, antithesis, and repetition (ibid: 124)
d) Style based on direct and indirect meaning: rhetorical and figurative (ibid:
130)
In addition, Soepomo (in Chaer and Agustina, 2004: 71) classifies language style into three parts; rhetorical, formal and informal. Rhetorical is used for rhetoric circumstances which have high aesthetics. Meanwhile, formal and informal is related to situation where the language is used.
Formal language is standardization of sentence structure and diction (2004: 72). However, in many advertisements, formal language aims at respecting and appreciating the consumers. Meanwhile, informal language is often applied in casual situation. Its character is usually marked by the appearance of contraction sentences to make intimate and closer situation to hearer.
Advertisement
In general, the term advertisement is defined as the structured and composed non personal communication of information, usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature, about products (goods, services & ideas) by identified sponsors through various media (Arens 2002: 7). Meanwhile, Dunn (1978: 58) states that advertisement is any paid, non personal communication through various media by firms, non profit organization and individuals who are in some way identified in the advertisement message and who hope to inform or persuade member particular audience The message can be audio as in radio advertisement, visual as in television advertisement or cinema advertisement.
Another words, we can say that advertisement is an art of sending special information messages to public with a possible minimum price (ibid).
From the definition above, it can be concluded that advertisement is one of mass communication means to be used for presentation and promotion of ideas, products and services by an identified sponsors or company through impersonal media. It is not only to inform a product or services but also to persuade and to convince the society. The use of word ‗art‘ above implies that advertisement is not a solely a process of sending art in creating the advertisement in order to be more interesting and attractive.
Kasali (1992) states that in general, advertisement has the aims to change prospective consumers to be loyal consumers for a certain period of time or to develop positive attitude of the prospective consumers, so that they become loyal consumers in the future. Therefore, it is very important for the advertisers to know why people read advertisement and how to create an attractive advertisement.
Film
Film is one of means of communication that has big role in human life. Film has been a social phenomenon as a popular form of entertainment. Film is a miniature of human life, which portrays human life in different angle. Film not only displays moving images of real people and objects visually with its real social context, but also communicates the desires, needs and aspirations of human or even society.
1.1The Film Genres
According to Mc. Gown in Sofiah (1990), he divides the film typology into the following terms:
1. Drama Film
A drama film usually tells about the great story of human‘s life which contains any conflicts. Those conflicts, moreover, happen between two people or more. A drama can be romantic, comedy and tragedy. Romantic drama usually draws about love story among the characters and usually has a happy ending (1990: 38). A romance film, moreover, can be loosely defined as any film in which the central plot (the premise of the story) revolves around the romantic involvement of the story's protagonists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic). Meanwhile, comedy is dramatic work that is humorous and usually has a happy ending. Comedy is the events which inevitably find happy resolution. It is cheerful and optimism (Russell: 8). On the other hand, tragedy involves events which climax in unhappy disaster which is somber and pessimism. It means that the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow (ibid: 7).
2. War Film
A war film describes the battle situation in mostly scenes of film story (Gown in Sofiah, 1990: 40). For example: ―The Lion‖ film that draws about situation in World War I. In line with this opinion, www.filmsite.org defines that a war film acknowledges the horror and heartbreak of war, letting the actual combat fighting (against nations or humankind) on land, sea, or in the air provide the primary plot or background for the action of the film (http//www.filmsite.org/genres.html).
3. Epics/historical Film
Epics film include costume dramas, historical dramas, war films, medieval romps, or 'period pictures' that often cover a large expanse of time set against a vast, panoramic backdrop. Epics often share elements of the elaborate adventure films genre. Epics take an historical or imagined event, mythic, legendary, or heroic figure, and add an extravagant setting and lavish costumes, accompanied by grandeur and spectacle, dramatic scope, high production values, and a sweeping musical score (ibid).

4. Crime Film
A crime film tells about the activities that involve breaking the law, such as drugs trading, violence in traffic light, juvenile delinquency, etc. Those activities, moreover, relate to law enforcer (Gown in Sofiah, 1990: 40).
5. Adventure Film
Adventure films recite about the challenging adventure among a professional spy, tourist and journalist. They are all involved into the destroying of violence that makes them to have certain adventure, such as ―James Bond‖ film (ibid: 42). Adventure films are usually exciting stories, with new experiences or exotic locales, very similar to or often paired with the action film genre (http//www.filmsite.org/genres.html).
6. Cartoon Film
Cartoon film is a film made by photographing a series of drawings. Meanwhile, an animated cartoon is a series of still drawings that, when viewed in rapid succession, gives the impression of a moving picture (1990: 44).

7. Kids Film
This kind of movie describes the story of children‘s life which is mostly performed by children as the actors (ibid: 44). ―Bed Time Stories (2009)‖ film is an example of kid‘s movie which tells about children‘s wishes before going to bed.
8. Mystery and Horror Film
Both mystery and horror film are merely similar. Those films have similarity in term of revealing the phenomenon of supernatural. However, those also have difference in term of its effect to the audiences. Mystery film usually dealing with a puzzle crime only arouses the audiences‘ perplexes. Meanwhile, horror film makes the audience becomes fear (ibid: 46). Webster's Collegiate Dictionary gives the primary definition of horror as "a painful and intense fear, dread, or dismay." Horror movie is, broadly, movie intended to scare, unsettle or horrify the viewers. (http://www.findmeanauthor.com/definition_horror_fiction_genre.htm)
9. Suspense Film
A suspense film has particular character that gives anxiety or apprehension resulting from uncertainty and unexplained matters. Moreover, by watching this film, the audience will be grasped with strained actions (1990: 47).
