8. Types of Communicative
Style
Speech style is a communicative style
which portrays how a language is
characterized in terms of degree of
formality. Presented below are the
different types of communicative styles.

9. CASUAL
This is an informal language used by friends and
peers. Slang, vulgarities and colloquialism, informal
contractions (e.g., ain’t, dunno, gonna) are normal
in this type of speech style. This uses “group
language,” so only members of the group can
understand it. Here, nicknames are used in
addressing one another.

10. EXAMPLES OF CASUAL
CONVERSATION
• Everyday conversation with buddies or friend
• A personal message and personal emails
• Blogs
• Tweets
• Letters to friends
• Phone calls

11. CONSULTATIVE
This is used in semi-formal communication, where
sentences tend to be shorter and spontaneous. It
happens in two-way participation. It uses
unplanned speech. This is the normal style for
speaking to strangers or persons who are neither
acquaintances nor friends nor relatives.

12. EXAMPLES OF CONSULTATIVE
CONVERSATION
• Regular classroom discussions
• Doctor-patient
• Lawyer-client
• Counselor- client
• Group discussion
• Teacher-student
• Expert-apprentice

13. FORMAL
Formal speeches are straightforward speeches. It is
used in speaking to large groups and is impersonal in
nature. Speaker must frame whole sentences ahead
before they are delivered. It avoids using slang
terminologies and uses formal English. Language is
comparatively rigid and has a set, agreed-upon
vocabulary structured complex sentences and noun
phrases.

14. EXAMPLES OF FORMAL
CONVERSATION
• Meetings
• Speeches
• School lessons
• Corporate meeting
• Interview
• SONA
• Welcome address
• Announcements
• Orations
• Scholarly books/ Articles

15. FROZEN
This type of communicative style rarely or never
changes. It is “frozen” in time and content. It is
generally used in a very formal setting. This is the
most formal communicative style for a respectful
situation. It has a fixed and static language and
uses long sentences with a good command of
grammar.

16. EXAMPLES OF FROZEN
CONVERSATION
• National Anthem
• Holy Mass
• Religious Rites/ Rituals
• Pledge of allegiance
• Constitution
• The Lord’s Prayer
• Oath
• Creed

17. INTIMATE
This type of communicative style applies to
conversational experiences between and/or among
people who share intimate relationships. Usually
done in private, this also shows no social
boundaries among the speakers considering their
intimacy. This also employs informal and intimate
languages.
