It is human nature to express thoughts

message.

 WHAT IS A SPEECH
STYLE?
According to a Dutch linguist, Martin
Joos (1976) as mentioned by Balgos
& Sipacio (2016), Speech Style
means the form of language that the
speaker uses which is characterized
by the degree of formality.
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
1. Intimate
This style is private, which is used by a very close
relationship such as between husband and wife,
parents and children, between siblings, and boyfriend
and girlfriend. In this style, the participants share a
completely private vocabulary. Since the participants
have an intimate relationship, and they often know
each other’s intention, there is no need for a clear
articulation of words. This uses words of endearment
like, “darling,” “honey,” “babe” etc. and a high
incidence of non-verbal communication.
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
1.Intimate
is used for very close relationships.
example: couple
note: Language used in this style may
not be shared in public.
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
2. CASUAL
This speech style is conversational in tone and has a free
and easy participation. The languages used among and
between
friends or peers who share common interests are general,
jargon,
slang, and colloquial. Informal contractions are used
(Example: “ ain’t,” “dunno”, “gonna”, “nope”)
Interruptions are common. Nicknames are used. (Balgos &
Sipacio.2016.p.35)
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
2. CASUAL
an informal communication between groups
and peers who have something to share and
have shared background information but do
not have close relations.
example: classmates
note: Jargon, slang, and vernacular language
are used
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
3. CONSULTATIVE
This style is used in semi-formal communication in a
two-way participation. The sentences tend to be shorter
and spontaneous. This is considered as the most
operational style among the other styles where a
speaker needs to provide background information
because the listener (or addressee) may not be able to
understand without it. In turn, the listener participates
continuously by giving feedback like, “I see”, “Uhhuh”,
“Ah “, “okay” to signal that he or she is paying attention
to the speaker, or has understood what was said. Thus,
both the speaker and the listener are active participants.
TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

3. CONSULTATIVE
is used in semi-formal and standard
communication.
example: teacher and student
note: Professional or mutually
acceptable language is a must in this
style.
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
4. FORMAL
In this style, the speaker uses formal words and
expressions like complete sentences and technical
or academic vocabulary. In other words, this does
not allow omissions and contractions. It is a one-
way speaking to medium, or large groups. Since
there is little or no feedback from the listeners or
audience, the speaker needs to plan his or her
utterances, or what he or she is going to say. This
speech style is evident in conferences,
inaugurations.
TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

4. FORMAL
is a one-way straightforward speech.
example: State of the Nation
Address
note: What the speaker says is
something that has been prepared
beforehand.
 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
5. FROZEN
The speaker uses language in fixed and static
expressions that are rarely or never changed. This is
the most formal style and is reserved for very
formal situations such as in ceremonies, religious
services, state affairs, and court proceedings. It
uses prescribed and highly formal language, such as
in official, or historical documents and literary texts
e.g. the Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer,
Allegiance to country or flag.
TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

5. FROZEN
is the most formal communicative
style that is usually used during
solemn ceremonies and events.

feedback from the audience.
