do you think a supportive parent would speak to the child? Would others, such as a
friend or a teacher, speak to the child in the same manner? Copy and use the table
below to create possible dialogues between the following: student-parent, student-
friend, and student-teacher. Brainstorm on what each one would say to the student.

Question to answer:
1. What is the degree of formality in each conversation?
2. How do you compare or differentiate one from the other?

A communicative style refers to a specific form of language that a speaker utilizes which is characterized by a
certain level of formality or informality. According to Joos (1968), there are five communicative 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.
1. Intimate – This style is private, which occurs between or among close family members or individuals. The
language used in this style may not be shared in public.
2. Casual – This style uses informal language, common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, or the
vernacular languages 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.
ANALYSIS:
1. How do we differentiate intimate from casual style?
2. When do we use consultative style?
3. What is the difference between formal and frozen style?
ABSTRACTION:
1. How do we determine the language expected of a communicative style?
2. How does the language/vocabulary differ from each communicative style?
3. Why is it important to know the differences between communicative styles?
APPLICATION:
Identify the type of communicative style appropriate for the following situations. Write
your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
1. A student opens his/her cyber bullying experience on his/her online class to a
guidance counselor.
2. A senatorial candidate delivers a campaign speech to his constituents.
3. An epidemiologist gives a virtual talk on the benefits of COVID-19 vaccine.
4. Two close friends talk and laugh about their memorable experiences in Anabelle’s
Garden.
5. A group of students exchanges conversation on Messenger on their commended
Performance Task.
