What is it
Communicative Style
7
For example, as a student, you will not talk to your teacher or to the principal
the way you talk to your best friend or your brother. The way we talk to someone is
based on how we are related with each other as well as considering the setting
(situation when the communication is taking place) and position (are you talking to a
boss, a cousin, a police officer?) of that person.
Observe the diagram below and try to answer the questions that follow. Keep
your answers in mind and confirm them after going over this part.
Communicative styles can also reveal how people are related with each other.
Depending on the level of formality, the less formal the communication, the more
intimate relationships are.
Joos also identified the communicative styles into five types: frozen, formal,
consultative, casual, and intimate.
1. Frozen style
• This style is also called fixed speech
• This is the highest form of communicative style which is often used in
respectful situations or formal ceremonies
• It uses the complex grammatical sentence structure
• Uses vocabulary or words that are only known and understood by
specific group of people.
8
2. Formal Style
• This type uses formal words and expressions
• It is mostly seen in writing rather than speaking
• It is expected to use complete sentences and specific word usage
• It also disallows the use of ellipsis (omissions), contractions (joining
of words like couldn’t, don’t, won’t and can’t), and qualifying modal
adverbial (like probably, possibly, evidently, surely, certainly and
subjectively markers)
3. Consultative Style
• The third level of language.
• It is basically unplanned speech since the speaker uses the
participation and feedback of the listener
• The speaker will supply background information, while again, the
listener participates continuously
• It is a communicative style that is less appropriate in writing
4. Casual Style
• Also known as informal style
• It is usually used between, friends, or even insiders who have things to
share
• In this type, there is a free and easy participation of both speaker and
listener
• The use of language in this style is general
• It is suitable to use casual style in situations where speech is
improvised and not prepared ahead of time
• It is also used when someone wants to get to know someone on a more
personal level, or wants that person to feel at ease
• It allows the use of slang (street language), profanity (bad words), and
unconventional English words
• The diction or vocabulary is informal (colloquial) – Some of the
vocabulary used only in casual situations are: – “dude” (a person) –
“freaking out” (getting scared) – “nope” (no)
5. Intimate Style
• The last type is used in talks between two very close individuals or
knew each other for quite a long time
• It is described by an economy of words, with a high chance of
nonverbal communication.
• Uses highly nonverbal communications like gestures, eye contact, facial
expressions, tone of voice and so on
• Like casual, there is also a free and easy participation of both speaker
and listener
• It is far more elliptical than casual communication
