The document discusses different communicative styles or language registers that should be used depending on the situation and relationship between speakers. It identifies five registers: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. Frozen is the most formal and is used for things like reciting prayers. Formal is for presentations and speeches. Consultative is for interactions with professionals. Casual is for friends and colleagues. Intimate is for family members. Knowing the appropriate register is important for building relationships and behaving properly in society. The document provides examples and activities to help readers understand and identify the different registers.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Language Registers
1
What I Need to Know
After studying this module, learners are expected to familiarize types of language
registers, differentiate between formal and informal conversation, and provide the
appropriate communicative styles in different situations through script writing.
What’s New
Activity 1: Connecting Lives
Consider this situation: During the National Schools Press Conference
(NSPC), a student journalist of your school won the gold medal in
feature writing category. How do you think a parent, who has been
supportive, would speak to the child? Would the teacher and coach or
close friend talk the same way the parent does? Think about what each
of them would say to the student. Using the table below, write a
potential conversation between the following: parent-student,
teacher/coach-student, and friend-student.
4. 2
Activity 2: Answer Me
1. Based on the possible conversation in activity 1, what do you think is the
level of formality of the language used in each situation? Fill in the table
below by writing a check mark on the column that corresponds to your
answer.
Level of Formality Formal Informal
Parent-Child
Teacher/Coach-Student
Friend-Student
2. Why does our relationship with others affect the way we talk to them?
3. What is the importance of knowing the level of formality in a language?
What Is It
Language register is the degree of formality in a language. It differs with whom you
are talking to and the situation you are in. Martin Joos (1967), an American linguist and a
German professor, identified five speech styles. These are intimate, casual, consultative,
formal, and frozen.
1. Intimate ‒ This communication style is used mostly by
close family members or individuals, such as husband and
wife, parent and child, lovers, and siblings. So, it is
private in nature with the high occurrence of non-verbal
communication. The language used in this style is not
appropriate in public and professional gathering.
As portrayed by the picture, the couple does not need a
lot of words to express their intention for one another.
Their conversation usually involves the use of intimate
words or vocabularies. Honey, sweetie, darling,
sweetheart, and babe are most commonly used. Same
words can also be used to address a special person. For
example, a child wakes up early in the morning and is
greeted by his mother. The greeting would most likely be
good morning my dear, sweetie or darling.
2. Casual ‒ This is the register that is commonly
used by friends, peers, close acquaintances, co-
workers or colleagues. It is very informal that
vocabularies used in conversation must not be
adapted in formal situations. Colloquial terms,
contractions, slang, jargon, and even vernacular
language are mostly observed. To name a few,
words like bestie, bff, chill, cheesy, cool, and
acronyms like FYI (For Your Information), LOL
(Laugh Out Loud), OMG (Oh My God), and
expressions such as: Are you kidding me? What’s
up? I’m kinda… See ya! are normally used.
5. 3
3. Consultative ‒ The language used in this
style is standard. It means that words and
expressions are mutually acceptable by
persons involved. This is also the speech style
one uses when consulting an expert. So,
basically, it is a two-way communication.
Examples of this situation are the conversation
between doctor and patient, lawyer and client,
manager and subordinate, coach and player,
and teacher and student, and so forth.
If you were the patient in this picture, how would you speak with your doctor? Would
you say this, “I need you to check on my chest; I can hardly breathe.” Doesn’t it sound
demanding, uncourteous or impolite? You must always remember that the tone of such
conversation is respectful. Thus, you must not forget to use courtesy titles like “doctor or Dr.
Marquez”, “ Mr, or Mr. Tan” or “Mrs. or Mrs. Reyes”. Madam, ma’am and sir may be used to
address when speaking to strangers.
4. Formal ‒ If the consultative register is a
two-way communication, this style is one-way
in nature. The speaker must not be
interrupted. It also follows a commonly
accepted format where complete sentences
are required, and the use of slang and
contraction are prohibited. This style is used
in school, workplace, court hearing, and
business setting. Examples of this include
speeches, homilies, announcements,
business presentations, legal
pronouncements, teacher’s discussion on a
certain topic, and the like.
For instance, in a business meeting as shown by the picture above, the female
presenter speaks uninterruptedly while her colleagues listen attentively and wait for her
speech to end before asking questions. That is how formal the situation is, and that is why
everyone involved in gathering must act professionally.
5. Frozen ‒ This is the most formal style of
communication. It is also known as static
because the language used is intended to be
frozen or unchanged. This communicative
style does not require feedback from the
audience. It is usually observed in a very
formal and respectful setting like a couple’s
exchange of vows in a wedding ceremony or
reciting a pledge to the Alma Mater during
graduation exercises. Other examples are
constitution, laws, prayers, anthems, biblical
verses, and so forth.
As shown in the picture above, a woman performs the pledge of allegiance to the
Philippine flag. This further shows that the language is often learned by repetition.

WRITING RUBRIC
Summary
Every day in our lives we meet different people and situations. These people
describe us in the way we act and communicate to them. So it is an edge having a deeper
knowledge about how we should properly behave ourselves in front of others. It is also
expected of us being called as educated persons in our society. It just doesn’t come handy
though. It requires hard work.
So having learned from this module is already a reward. The language registers or
different communicative styles (frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate) which we
had discussed will help us build sound relationship with others. In the end, what is important
is to be able to promote camaraderie instead of animosity.
Assessment: (Post-Test)
Determine which communicative style is appropriate in each situation below. Write
your answer before each number.
___________ 1. informing the students about the suspension of classes
___________ 2. talking to your class adviser
___________ 3. delivering a campaign speech during an SSG election
___________ 4. Reciting the pledge of allegiance to the Philippine flag
___________ 5. Praying the Lord’s Prayer
___________ 6. talking to someone special
___________ 7. Communicating with your coach while playing
___________ 8. sharing memorable experiences with a friend
___________ 9. Greeting your loved ones with fond words
___________ 10. chatting with colleagues
