"One could say that every case of variation
discussed above involves enregisterment. In the
case of Beijing yuppies, the use of full tone can
be seen as a tropic use of an element
of an enregistered variety, Hong Kong or
Taiwan Mandarin, and reinscribed as part of a
new Beijing yuppie register."

Como o texto se refere ao tom e não às expressões, acho que estereótipo cai melhor. Um tom estereotipado para se expressar, à maneira típica dos yuppies da região.
