TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES
1. FROZEN STYLE
used generally in very formal setting. Most formal communicative
style for respectful situation. Does not require any feedback from
the audience. Usually uses long sentences with good grammar
and vocabulary. The use of language is fixed and relatively static.
examples:
national pledge, anthem, school creeds,
marriage ceremonies, speech for a state ceremony
2. FORMAL STYLE
used in speaking to medium to large groups. May also be used in
single hearers- strangers, older persons, professional. Speaker
must frame whole sentences ahead before they are delivered
avoids using slang terminologies. Language is comparatively
rigid and has a set, agreed upon vocabulary that is well
documented; is often of a standard variety.
examples:
meetings, speeches, school lessons, court, a corporate meeting,
at a swearing in ceremony, in an interview or in a classroom
3. CONSULTATIVE STYLE
used in semi-formal communication. Happens in two-way
participation. Most operational among other styles
speaker does not usually plan what he wants to say. Sentences
end to be shorter and spontaneous

examples:
regular conversation at schools, companies, group discussion,
teacher-student, doctor-patient, expert-apprentice
4. CASUAL STYLE
language used between friends. Often very relaxed and focused
on just getting the information out. Slangs are quite often used in
these instances. This style is used in informal situations and
language. Relationship between speaker and hearer is closed.
Examples:
casual conversations with friends, family members, chats, phone
calls and messages
5. INTIMATE STYLE
completely private language used within family of very close
friends or group. Uses personal language codes. Grammar is
unnecessary. Does not need complete language. Certain terms
of endearment, slangs or expressions whose meaning is shared
with a small subset of persons to person.
