 Week 6/L 6.1: Communicative Styles:
INTIMATE
Memory Verse: “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to
the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29 KJV

Enabling Outcomes: (MELC)

Based on the curriculum guide (CG), the student should be able to:
a. Use vocabulary or jargon expected of intimate communicative style

Concepts (Generalization)
Communication involves the transmission and reception of messages between sender and receiver. It occurs in
many contexts and we communicate according to the situation we are in. For instance, the manner we talk with
our parents at home is different with how we converse with our teachers at school.

When we are in intimate company, we adjust our communicative style by using distinct vocabulary and jargon
that are difficult for the out-group to understand. An intimate speech style is characterized by a complete
absence of social inhibitions. With such, this style is used by individuals who share close relationship namely
close friends or best friends, siblings, husband and wife, parents and children, and boyfriend and
girlfriend.

Features of Intimate Communicative Style

1. Conversations are usually done in private
2. Participants uses short, incomplete utterances
3. Grammar and proper word choice are given less importance
4. Nonverbal messages are often used - (facial expressions, gestures)
5. Participants share inside jokes
6. Terms of endearment (e.g., darling, honey, dear) are used
Example:
Telling your best friend about your crush
KC: Besty, last night…
Axel: Last night what?
KC: Crushie gave me flowers in my dream!
Axel: Literally in your dreams besty.
KC: It feels so real…
Axel: Know what’s real?
KC: Crushie’s coming!?
Axel: I smell burnt cookies.

 Week 6/L 6.2. Communicative styles:
CASUAL/CONVERSATIONAL
Memory Verse: “Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
Proverbs 16:24 KJV

Enabling Outcomes: (MELC)

Based on the curriculum guide (CG), the student should be able to:
a. Use vocabulary or jargons expected of casual/conversational communicative style

Concepts (Generalization)
Chaer (2001) explained that this style is a language variety used in informal situations. Casual style is used in
conversation between friends and insiders who have something to share and have shared background
information.

Features of casual or conversational speech style:

1. Language is usually shortened. It focuses on the meaning of the utterance rather than the structure.
(“having fun” rather than “Are you having fun?”)
2. Articles (a/an, the) and subject at the beginning of the sentence may be dropped.
3. Slang (nonstandard words or expressions), colloquial words (region-specific words and phrases),
elliptical sentences (some words are omitted), and informal contractions (e.g., ain’t, dunno, gonna) are
used.
4. Nicknames and shared terms may be used.

Example:
Allan: Dude! Are you guys free on Friday night?
Jay: What d’ya have in mind?
Allan: How about goin’ to the mall to see Stars Wars?
Ryan: Yeah! That’d be awesome! I’m in!
Jay: I’d want to…but my parents…
Allan: Dude, c’mon! You’re what, 18 now?! Just tell them you’re with me.
Ryan: And me!
Jay: Ok. I’ll try…But no promises, OK?
Allan: Fine, bro. Just lemme know. Gotta go!
Ryan: See ya!
Jay: Bye!

 Week 6/L 6.3 Communicative styles:
Consultative and Frozen
Memory Verse: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for
building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29 NIV

Enabling Outcomes: (MELC)

Based on the curriculum guide (CG), the student should be able to:
a. Determine the vocabulary or jargons expected of consultative and frozen communicative
styles

Concepts (Generalization)
Consultative Communicative Style
It is basically an unplanned speech since the speaker uses the participation and feedback of the listener. The
speaker will supply background information while the listener participates continuously. The main objective of
communication is consultation.

Features:
 more formal than intimate and casual styles
 used in ordinary conversations or routine transactions that lead to an outcome or result
 used by people who don’t know each other (conversation between a doctor and patient, a lawyer and a
client, a superior and subordinate, colleagues of unequal ranks)
 phrases and fragments may still be used but speakers need to favor clarity
 spontaneous and unplanned, and the speed of communication is usually higher than formal settings

Example
Linda: Good morning, Dr. Gomez.
Dr. Gomez: Good morning, Linda. What seems to be the problem?
Linda: I’ve been getting severe headaches.
Dr. Gomez: How long have you had these headaches?
Linda: Uhm… about two weeks or so.
Dr. Gomez: Are these headaches constant, or do they come and go?
Linda: Constant.
Dr. Gomez: Are you feeling any other problems?
Linda: Oh, I sometimes get dizzy, and I experience this ringing in my ears.
Dr. Gomez: I see. Have you been feeling nauseated and uncontrollable eye movements, too?
Linda: Hmm… Yes, I have actually.
Dr. Gomez: And have you been taking medications?
Linda: No.
Dr. Gomez: Well, I think you have vertigo. But, I still need to perform some tests. Please wait here.
Linda: Okay. Thank you doctor.
Frozen Communicative Style
A frozen style is often used in formal situations, such as in a graduation ceremony, an official meeting, a
television newscast, and a conference, where there is only one-way communication.
Features:
  interruptions are not allowed
 the speaker is the only source of information
 pronunciation is very clear
 ellipsis (omission of one or more words) is not allowed
 sentence structures are more complex and varied
 extensive and technical vocabulary is required
 ideas are cohesive and organized
 all background or necessary information is clearly given
Example:
Caroline: President Echavez, may I present to you Honorable Roman Suarez, the Philippine Ambassador of
United States of America.
Ambassador: It is a great honor to meet you.
President: The honor is all mine.
