TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES
SPEECH STYLES

The context dictates and affects the way people commu

nicate, which results in various speech styles.

According to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles. T

hese are (1) intimate, (2) casual, (3) consultative, (4) for
mal, and (5) frozen. Each style dictates what appropriate
language or vocabulary
should be used or observed.
1. INTIMATE

This style is private, which o

ccurs between or among cl
ose family members or indiv
iduals.

The language used in this st

yle
may not be shared in public.
2. CASUAL

This style is common among

peers and friends.

Jargon, slang, or the vernacul

ar
language are used.
3. CONSULTATIVE

This style is the standard one.

Professional or mutually accept
able language is a must in this s
tyle.

Examples of situations are

communication between teach
ers
and students, employers and
employees, doctor and patient,
judge and lawyer, or President
4. FORMAL

This style is used in formal setti

ngs. Unlike the consultative sty
le, this is
one-way.

Examples are sermons by pries

ts
and ministers, State of the Nat
ion
Address of the President, form
5. FROZEN

This style is frozen in time an

d
remains unchanged. It mostly
occurs in ceremonies.

Preamble to the Constitution,
Lords Prayer, and Allegiance t
o country
or flag.
