TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES

The context dictates and affects the way people communicate, which results in
various speech styles. According to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles. These
are (1) intimate, (2) casual, (3) consultative, (4) formal, and (5) frozen. Each style
dictates what appropriate language or vocabulary should be used or observed.
1. Intimate – This style is private, which occurs
between or among close family members or
individuals. The language used in this style may
not be shared in public. Example is couple talking You cannot be
about their future plans, family sharing ideas, very
intimately talking to a client or
close friends sharing secrets, etc.
customer on the job. It would
2. Casual – This style is common among peers be inappropriate and could be
and friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular a manifestation of your lack of
language are used. Example is everyday professionalism and respect.
conversation with friends etc.
3. Consultative – This style is the standard one. Professional or mutually acceptable
language is a must in this style. Examples of situations are communication between
teachers and students, employers and employees, doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer, or President and his/her constituents.
4. Formal – This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative style, this is
one-way. Examples are sermons by priests and ministers, State of the Nation Address
of the President, formal speeches, or pronouncements by judges.

5. Frozen – This style is “frozen” in time and remains unchanged. It mostly occurs in
ceremonies. Common examples are the Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer,
and Allegiance to country or flag.

It is important to know the appropriate words to use when dealing with

other people whether in an intimate, casual, or consultative manner.
