5. 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
Brief Introduction

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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

9. CASUAL
This style is common among peers and friends.
Jargon, slang, or the vernacular language are used

10. 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.

clear so far?

questions or clarifications.
