TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
•According to Joos (1968) , there are five
speech styles. These are intimate,
casual, consultative, formal, and frozen.
Each style dictates what appropriate
language or vocabulary should be used
or observed.
 INTIMATE
This style is private, which occurs between or
among close family members or individuals. The
language used in this style may not be shared in
public.
 CASUAL
This style is common among peers and friends.
Jargon, slang, or the vernacular language are used.
 CONSULTATIVE
This style is standard one. Professional or mutually
acceptable language is a must in this style.
Examples:
Teachers – students
Employers – employees
Doctor – patient
Judge – lawyers
President – his/her constituents
 FORMAL
This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the
consultative style, this is one-way.
Examples:
Sermons by priests and ministers
State of the Nation Address of the President
Formal speeches
Pronouncements by judges
 FROZEN
This style is “frozen” in time and remains
unchanged. It mostly occurs in ceremonies.
Examples:
Preamble to the Constitution
Lord’s Prayer
Allegiance to country or flag

forsake you.
