What is It
Communicative Styles pertain to
the styles that we are using when we are
communicating to other people. These
are the attitude and character that we are
portraying to other people when we are
having a conversation with them. The
following are five types of communicative
styles:
Frozen or Static 22

At this level, language is literally

―frozen in time and form. It does
not change. This type of language
is often learned and repeated by
rote. Examples are biblical verse,
prayers, the Pledge of Allegiance,
and others.
Presentation title 20XX
Formal 23

This style is impersonal and often

follows a prescriptive format. The
speaker uses complete sentences,
avoids slang and may use technical or
academic vocabulary. This is the
register used for most academic and
scientific publishing. This is the
standard for work, school, and business.
Presentation title 20XX
Consultative 24

This is the register used when

consulting an expert such as a
doctor. The language used is
more precise. The speaker is
likely to address the expert by a
title such as ― Doctor, Mr. or
Presentation title 20XX
Casual 25

This register is conversational in

tone. It is the language used
among and between friends.
Words are general, rather than
technical. This register may
include more slang and
colloquialisms.
Presentation title 20XX
Intimate 26

The language used by lovers. It

is also the language used in
sexual harassment. This is the
most intimate form of language.
It is best avoided in public and
professional situations.
Presentation title 20XX
 Take Note:
27
Jargon is the specialized terminology associated with a particular
field or area of activity. It is normally employed in a particular
communicative context and may not be well understood outside
that context. The context is usually a particular occupation (that
is, a certain trade, profession, vernacular, or academic field), The
main trait that distinguishes jargon from the rest of a language is
special vocabulary—including some words specific to it, and often
different senses or meanings of words, that outgroups would tend
to take in another sense—therefore misunderstanding that
communication attempt. Jargon is sometimes understood as a
form of technical slang and then distinguished from the official
terminology used in a particular field of activity.
