5 minutes communicative styles.
4.4 Abstraction Casual Communicative Style
10 minutes  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.

Example:
Classmate 1: Hey! What’s up? You seem so very busy.
Classmate 2: Yes, I must finish something’s up.
Classmate 1: Oh, I see… Wanna come for a milk tea at the canteen?
Classmate 2: That’s interesting! I wish I could but I need to do this ASAP.
Classmate 1: Okay, just catch up when you’re done!

Consultative Communicative Style

 The consultative speech 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. In addition, short responses like I see and Ah may be used to signal that he or
she is listening attentively or has understood what was tackled. Titles such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., Sir,
Ma’am, Madam, or Dr. are likely to be used when using this communicative style. This communicative
style is the most operational among others.
Example:
Situation ( A patient is consulting a doctor.)
Patient: Good morning, Dr. Garcia.
Dr. Garcia: Hi, how have been feeling?
Patient: I ate some “kwek-kwek” and siomai with my friends after the class.
Dr. Garcia: Likely, you ate contaminated food. I am prescribing some medicine to control the
diarrhea…
Patient: Thank you, Doc.

Formal Communicative Style

 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
A television newscast
Giving announcements
A business meeting an interview or in a classroom
Used for academic or business writing

Frozen Communicative Style

  The frozen communicative style, also called the oratorical style, is the most formal style and is reserved
for very formal situations such as during weddings, other religious services or rituals, court
proceedings, and other formal ceremonies. This style is used to address or is given before an audience
on absolute strangers. It uses prescribed and highly formal language. In this style, statements are
learned by heart. Examples are the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem. It is typically
prescribed by law, or it is a ritual that involves certain fixed statements (verbatim) that are never
changed.
Example:
Pledge of Allegiance
I am a Filipino
I pledge my allegiance
To the flag of the Philippines
And to the country it represents
With honor, justice, and freedom
Put in motion by one nation
For God, humanity, nature, and country

Intimate Communicative Style

 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. The participants
in this style do not need clear articulation of words or additional explanations. They may use words of
endearment, such as babe, love, dear, honey as a sign of intimacy.
Example:
Husband: Hon, have you seen my red cap?
Wife: Uhmm, I guess it is in the closet.
Husband: Thanks, hon, I’ll check it.
Wife: Okay, hon.
