    Hello,
    Having embarked on a masters thesis in corpus analysis and wishing to
    compare the collocational nature of prepositions across academic disciplines
    I find that I am not sure whether to call this 'specific registers' or
    genres. Both are written academic prose which would seem to be of the same
    genre but as the topics are different - commerce and economics versus
    natural science/history - I would call it ,specific registers'.
    Any comments?
