Based from the definition of Martin Joos’ (1976),

it is the form of language that speaker uses which
characterized by the degree of formality for the
most formal to the least formal style.

It only means that the language, vocabulary and

level of formality you use differ depending on the
situation and the person you are talking to. Is Yes ma’am .

For example, the words you use when you talk to

your friends are different when you talk to your
teacher. Same goes when you talk to you parents
and to your teacher. They differ depending on
the level of formality.

There are five different communicative style.

The first one in intimate communicative style.

participants who know each other very well or
share a very close relationship between Close
friends, siblings, husband and wife, parents and
children and boyfriend and girlfriend.

need for clear articulation of words or additional
explanations. They may use words of
endearment such babe, love, dear, honey as a
sign of intimacy.

Communicative style.
It uses a language used between friends ,
peers , colleagues, or family. Most of the
ambience with this style is relaxed and very light.
And so, the participants may use group language
only group members can understand Jargon,
slang, or the vernacular language are used.

The third style is Consultative communicative

style.
This communicative style happens in a two- way
participation. It is used in semi-formal situations
in which speaker needs to provide background
information while the listener participates by
giving feedback. Thus, both speaker and Listener
are active participants. This style is often used or
in other professional situations, such as
conversations between a doctor and a patient, a
teacher and a student.

The fourth one is Formal Communicative style.

It is considered to be a formal straight forward
speech. There is no participation from the
listener. This style is often used in formal
situations where there is only one-way
communication such as speeches , television
newscast, giving announcement, etc.

and is received for very formal situations such as
weddings, religious, services or rituals, court
proceedings and other formal ceremonies. This
style is used to to address or is given to absolute
strangers. It uses prescribed and highly formal
