The data are register words and phrases included in printed material used in online shop. The data source is dialogue between the buyer and seller in online shop. In collecting the data, the writer looks for the dialogue in online shop, reads the dialogue repeatedly, gives a sign to the register words, and writes down the dialogue, register words, and phrases. In analyzing the data, the writer classifies the data, analyzes the linguistics form and meaning, analyzes the context of situation, identifies the differences between lexical and contextual meaning and draws conclusion.

Based on the meaning, the writer finds 16 data in contextual meaning and 10 data in lexical meaning.
