    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.

    Speech Styles
    1.Intimate
     This style is private, which occurs between or among close family members or intimate individuals. The language
    used In this style may not be shared in public.
    2.Casual
     This style is common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, street language, gay language or vulgar words are
    used.
    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.
