 Intimate Style
The last type is used in talks between two very close individuals. It is described by an
economy of words, with a high chance of nonverbal communication. Like casual, there is also
a free and easy participation of both speaker and listener.

Casual Style
Also known as informal style, it is usually used between, friends, or even insiders who have
things to share. In this type, there is a free and easy participation of both speaker and
listener.

Frozen Style
Also known as fixed speech, it is the highest form of communicative style which is often used
in respectful situations or formal ceremonies like Shakespearean plays, weddings, funerals,
and more. It uses the complex grammatical sentence structure and vocabulary that are only
known by experts in that field.

Formal Style
This type uses formal words and expressions and is mostly seen in writing rather than
speaking. It also disallows the use of ellipsis, contractions, and qualifying modal adverbials.

Consultative Style
The third level of language. It is basically unplanned speech since the speaker uses the
participation and feedback of the listener. The speaker will supply background information,
while again, the listener participates continuously.
