Hey Check,

The lexicon in the text can influence the register in many ways, but most usually contribute to the formality which results in a formal/informal register. I can't answer the question directly as I have no knowledge of the piece you're analysing, but let's say it was an article about cookery. You could say that the piece is moderately formal due to its use of cooking jargon such as 'to saute', 'to splice' and 'to fry', because it requires a knowledge of that topic. However, if there's a use of slang verbs such as 'to shove', you could say it's moderately informal.

Hope that makes sense.  :)
