Activity Title: Employ appropriate communicative style for various situations
Learning Target: Employ appropriate communicative style for various situations (intimate, casual,
consultative, formal, and frozen).

A Dutch linguist Martin Joos cited five types of communicative styles. These are intimate, casual,
consultative, formal, and frozen. These communicative styles are also called language registers.
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 for clear articulation of words or additional explanations.
They may use words of endearment such as babe, love, dear, honey as a sign of intimacy.

Casual Communicative Style

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.

Consultative Communicative Style

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.
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., 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.
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 and business writing
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.

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
of 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.
The following is an example.

An eponym refers to a person or thing after which something else is named. They show how
related terms can become names for specific things. Inventors, founders, and scientists are often
eponymous people, inspiring the eponymic terms that come to describe their inventions, products, or
discoveries. Eponyms provide those who have created or imagined something with the power of a name
and idea that outlives them. They also highlight people who have characterized entire styles, eras, or
studies. Types of Eponyms
 There are six structural types of eponyms:
a. Simple – Eponyms in which a proper noun has been fully adopted and become the common named
of something else.
o The Greek Figure Atlas holds the world on his shoulders. We now use his name, atlas, as the
common term for a book of maps.
o The watt is the common name for a unit of electric power named after its developer, James
Watt.
b. Compounds and attributive – Eponyms mix names and descriptions.
o The loganberry is named after a US lawyer, James Logan.
o A Mieses opening is a move in a game of chess that is named after Jacques Mieses, a
grandmaster of the game.
c. Possessives – Eponyms written in the possessive tense and attribute ownership to their namesake.
o Newton’s laws of physics are named for the physicist, Sir Isaac Newton.
o The Strait of Magellan is named for Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer.
d. Suffix-based derivatives – Eponyms in which the name of the person is combined with a suffix to
make a new word.
o Mesmerism is named after a German physician, Franz Mesmer.
o Narcissism is named after the mythical character, Narcissus.
e. Clippings – Eponyms in which a name has been shortened or adapted.
o The word “dunce” is a combination of the middle and last names of Johns Duns Scotus. He
was a friar and a theologian who was considered to be a fool.
o A “gal” is the name of a unit of measurement of acceleration shortened from the name of the
scientist Galileo Galilei.
f. Blends – Eponyms in which two words are blended together to make a new one.
o The word “gerrymander” is a combination of the name Elbridge Gerry and the word
salamander, and refers to an unfair practice of dividing voting districts in a city.
o The term “Reagonomics” is a combination of the name Reagan and the word economics,
and refers to the policies of US President Ronald Reagan.
