    This document discusses different types of communication and language registers. There are three main types of communication: intrapersonal communication within oneself, interpersonal communication between two or more people either face-to-face or through technology, and public communication from one person to a larger audience. Language registers indicate the level of formality in language use and range from casual language between friends to formal language in academic or professional settings. Different situations call for different registers depending on the relationship between communicators and purpose of the interaction.

    Types of Communication
    Intrapersonal
    It is a communication within oneself. It involves thinking, remembering, and feeling. These are the
    things we do internally.
    Interpersonal
    This type of communication refers to face-to-face interactions between persons. It is communication
    among relatively small number of people.
    Dyadic This is communication between two (2) people. It may be face-to-face
    conversations, dialogs, or interviews. Telephone conversation is also dyadic.
    Tryadic This communication is participated in by three (3) people.
    Small Group More than three (3) people participate in this type of communication. This is
    the enlarged type of communication usually done to solve problems. The committee, panel,
    symposium, brainstorming and small business meetings are good examples of the small
    group communication.
    Public Communication
    This involves communication between one and several other people. This is the large group type of
    communication. A public speech is an example. Primarily, it is a monologue one engages in rather
    than a dialogue.
    Language Register
    Language Register
    Register in linguistics, is used to indicate degrees of formality in language use.
    Language Register is the level of formality with which you speak. Different situations and people
    call for different registers.
    Kinds of Language Register
    Casual - This is informal language used by peers and friends. Past experience with that person.
    Slang, vulgarities, and colloquialisms are normal. This is group language. One (1) must be
    member to engage in this register.
    Examples:

    Talking with friends


    Personal letter to a friend
    Talk with teammates
    Chats and emails
    Personal blogs

    Intimate -This communication is private. Language shared between couples, twins, very close
    friends. It is reserved for close family members or intimate people.

    The Universal Rule for Language Registers


    A person can go from one register to the next register without any conflicts.
    Frozen - This style of communications rarely or never changes. It is frozen in time and content.
    It is also called static register.
    Examples:

    Pledge of Allegiance
    Words to a song
    Poetry
    Prayer
    Preamble to the US Constitution
    The Alma Mater

    Formal - This language is used in formal settings and is one-way in nature. This use of language
    usually follows a commonly accepted format.
    Examples:

    Presentations
    Academic Paper
    Essays in school
    Sermons
    Speeches
    Announcements
    Interviews

    Consultative - This is a standard form of communications. Users engage in a mutually accepted


    structure of communications. Two-way communication used in conversation with professional
    discourse is a good example. It also shows no past experience with that person.
    Examples:

    Strangers who interact


    Adults at work
    Teachers with students
    Talking with lawyer or doctor
    Counselor and client
