This document discusses different communicative styles (formal, informal, intimate, casual, consultative, frozen) and provides examples of situations where each would be appropriately used. It aims to help students distinguish between styles, understand their effectiveness depending on audience and purpose, and analyze which is suitable for different situations. Examples are given of formal situations like speeches and announcements where formal styles would be used, and more casual settings between friends where casual language is appropriate. Students are then tested to identify different communication scenarios and match them with the correct style.

style and is reserved for very formal situations such as during weddings, other

21. • FORMAL
The formal communicative style is also considered to be a straightforward speech. There is no
participation from the listener.
This style is often used in the following formal situations where there is only one way
communication:
Speeches, school lessons, graduation ceremony, television newscast
giving announcement, business meeting, interview or in a classroom.
The enunciation of words, diction and grammar rules should be applied
properly. Thus, errors must be avoided. Ideas are presented cohesively, and all necessary
information are clearly given.

23. • CONSULTATIVE
The consultative speech style happens in a two-way participation. It is used in semi-
formal situations in which a speaker needs to provide background information. The
listener participates by giving feedback. Thus, both the speaker and the listener are
active participants.
Take note that this style is often used in business or in other professional
situations, such as conversations between a doctor and a patient, or a teacher and
a student.

The casual communicative style uses a language used between
friends, peers, colleagues, or family. Most of the ambience with
this style is relaxed and very light. And so, the participants may
use group language only members of the group can understand.
Jargon, slang, or the vernacular language are used. The tone is
conversational, and interruptions are very common. Also,
nicknames are used in addressing one another.

The intimate communicative style is defined as total absence of social
interactions. This style is used by participants who know each other well or
share a very close relationship, such as between close friends, siblings,
husband and wife, parents and children, and boyfriend and girlfriend.

additional explanations. They may use words of endearment such as babe,
love, dear, honey as a sign of intimacy.
