Abstract
This paper is dedicated to examining, studying, analyzing, and comparing the definitions of the key linguistic categories of "functional style" and "register", presented in English-language discourse. There were analyzed classical works by the Russian linguists and program works of Western scholars as well. According to the results of the research, it was found that in a general sense the terms "register" and "functional style" practically do not overlap. The notion of "register" is used by English and Russian researchers in different ways: the first interpret the selection of lexical and grammatical means, while the other consider the method, communication style, or perception. Moreover, there is only one aspect in which the definitions of the term "functional style" partially correspond: the style is understood to be the expressive means of language. These findings can be beneficial for both linguists and specialists. Due to all of the mentioned above, it becomes obvious that there is a need for scientific discussions, and for standardization of the terminological apparatus, or at least specification of the range of problems that need to be conceptualized.
