COMMUNICATIVE STYLES

1. Frozen Style
This has the characteristics of poetry and liturgy. This style is intended to be remembered and used in every formal setting such as in a
place, church ritual, speech for state ceremony, and some other occasions. This style involves large group of people, but they are not
permitted to give questions to the speaker. Also known as fixed speech, the contents of the frozen style of speech do not change or
rarely change in time.
Examples: Pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws, etc.

2. Formal Style their-technology-needs-and-your-value/
DISCUSSION
This style is used in formal situation, there is the least amount of shared background, and the communication style is largely one way
with little or no feedback from the audience. In this communicative style, the speaker avoids using slang terminologies, what the speaker
says is something that has been prepared beforehand, and its complex sentence and noun phrases are well structured, logically
sequenced, and strongly coherent. This type uses formal words and expressions and is mostly seen in writing rather than in speaking. It
also disallows the use of ellipsis, contractions, and qualifying modal adverbials.
Additional Characteristics:
➢ It gives clear intention to inform.
➢ The speaker observes explicit pronunciation and correct grammar.
➢ The structure of the message observes cohesion of form and organization.
➢ The speaker has personal detachment and there is an absence of participation of listeners.
Examples: announcements, SONA, valedictory speech, oration, eulogy

3. Consultative Style
Professional or mutually acceptable language is a must in this style. This style is used in semi-formal communicative situations, like
negotiating with strangers or colleagues, small group discussion, conversation in schools, companies, or
organizations. The sentences end to be shorter and spontaneous.
Additional Characteristics:
➢ It includes listeners’ participation and exchange of ideas, thus giving importance to feedback.
➢ It is informative and supplies background information.
➢ It uses standard grammar and clear pronunciation.
Examples: conversations between and among teacher and students, doctorpatient, employer – employee,
manager – staff, expert – apprentice

4. Casual Style
This is an informal communication style usually used between friends, groups, and peers, or even insiders who have things to share and
have shared background information but do not have close relations. In this type, there is a free and easy participation of both speaker
and listener.
Additional Characteristics:
➢ The use of jargons, ellipsis, slang, vernacular language is allowed.
➢ It could occur in any communicative setting where an informal atmosphere is appropriated or desired.
➢ The vocabulary used may be out of place in a formal setting or is often confined to a specific context.
Examples: phone calls, everyday conversation with friends, chats, gossiping

5. Intimate Style
The last type is used in private talks between very close relationships like couples, family, and best friends. It is also used for self
addressed questions or self-talk, etc. The message is expressed by a limited number of words, with a high chance of
nonverbal communication. It is rarely shared in public, uses a language between people with same orientation and could not be
understood by those who are not in the same intimate group.
Examples: Couple talking about their future plans, family sharing ideas, very close friends sharing secrets,
confessions, saying a personal prayer
