COMMUNICATIVE

STYLES
Quarter 1; Week 3 (English 9)
Communicative Styles
◦Every person has a unique communication style, a
way in which they interact and exchange information
with others.
◦It means the form of language that the speaker uses
which is characterized by the degree of formality.
Intimate
◦ It is used when communicating with someone whom you
have a close relationship with. It is also used for self-
addressed questions or self-talk, etc. Intimate speech is used
in conversation between people who are very close and
know each other quite well because they have the maximum
of shared background information.
◦ In this style grammar is unnecessarily used, because it can
bring disorder to this intimate style.
Intimate
EXAMPLES:
◦Couple talking about their future plans, family sharing
ideas, very close friends sharing secrets, etc.

◦ “Comin’ over tonight? Be there at eight.”


◦ “What’s up, man?”
◦ “You have to believe me, dear?”
Casual
◦This is an informal communication between groups
and peers. Casual style is used in conversation
between friends and insiders who have something to
share and have shared background information but
don’t have close relations.
Casual
◦ EXAMPLES: phone calls, everyday conversation with
friends, chats, etc.

◦ “Did you see today’s sales figures? Looks like the discounts
have actually worked.”
◦ “Will you please excuse me for a moment?”
Formal
◦Formal speeches are straightforward speeches. In
this speech style, the speaker avoids using slang
terminologies, what the speaker says is something
that has been prepared beforehand, its complex
sentence and noun phrases are well structured,
logically sequenced and strongly coherent.
Formal
EXAMPLES: Announcements, SONA, welcome addresses, etc.

◦ “Today’s sales bounced back in March as substantial discounts


helped to win back customers who had been shaken by firm’s mass
safety recalls.”
Consultative
◦This is used in semi-formal communication,
sentences end to be shorter and spontaneous, the
speaker does not usually plan what he/she wants to
say, most operational among others.
Consultative
EXAMPLES: regular classroom discussions, doctor-patient,
etc.

◦ “Good day! How have you been doing? As I have mentioned


earlier, we will discuss the different communicative styles.”
Frozen
◦ It is the most formal communicative style that is usually used
during respectful events and ceremonies. It is also used
when one shows hesitation, disinterest or prejudice. Frozen
speech is used generally in a very formal setting, does not
require any feedback from the audience, most formal
communicative style for respectful situations.
Frozen
EXAMPLE: Pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws,
etc.

◦ “I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those


physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such
knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.”
