Activity
Defining terms
Before we will discuss the types of speech styles, let us first unlock the word
style. What comes to your mind if you hear the word style?
You are all correct.
To sum up, style is a particular manner or way of behaving, doing, creating
or performing a thing.
How about speech style. What is your idea of it?
Excellently uttered.
Let’s have a uniform definition of speech style. Everybody read.
Speech style is the form of language that a speaker uses and it is
characterized by the degree of formality.
This implies that the language used by speakers varies based on given
situations or settings and the persons involved.
Alright class, I have here dialogue excerpts. Please identify the situation or
setting and the speakers that each excerpt represents.
I will call two volunteers to read each excerpt.
E. Hello honey, how was your day? Great. We got a lot done, Hon. And
yours?
Analysis
Thank you. Now let’s go over the excerpts again and analyze the language
used in the given situations.
Let’s proceed to the second excerpt. Who are the speakers? Are they in high
rank positions?
What can you say about the formality of the language?
Correct. How about their manner of speaking? How about the way they
address each other?
Excellent answers.
What do you sense as to their relationship? Are they close or not?
When do you think this style is most appropriately used?
Well said. So how do you call the speech style employed in the second
utterances?
We will come now to the third excerpt. Please tell the class who the speakers
are.
Great. What do you think is the purpose of the patient?
Wonderful. There might be an important matter she needs to know.
Do you think the doctor is the right person to consult to?
Magnificent answer.
Abstraction
If the first set of dialogue excerpt has the language which is patterned and it
is frozen or cannot be changed. What do you think is the speech style used in
the excerpt?
If the second excerpt showed a formal used of a language, so how do you call
the speech style employed in the second utterances?
If the fifth excerpt showed intimacy in their conversation, what do you think
is the speech style used in the excerpt?

1. 1. LESSON 1 TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE Prepared by: Claire Anne Requina Jl anino
Rhynnier Dave France Cuenca
2. 2. Speech or communication has been categorized into different style or modes. One
widely-quoted classification is that of Joos (1959, as cited in Beeching, Armstrong, &
Gadet, 2009). His five styles, although relatively old, are usually used in studies of style-
shifting not only in spoken language but also in written language.
3. 3. Characteristics of Speech Styles ( Berk- Selingson, 2012; Schaffner, 2002; Normet,
2005; Szynalski, 2015; Bartley. 2015)
4. 4. 1. FROZEN STYLE This is a style for declamation and for print. The listener or reader
is not allowed to question the speaker (or writer).
5. 5. a. Its extreme, impersonal style is clearly planned and marked by social distance,
which may probably caused by sociocultural differences between speaker (or writer) and
listener (or reader). b. This style is more characteristic of writing than speech, reserved
for the most formal occasion when spoken, and then read. c. The writing reflects the
efforts of revision. It is here that some items like careful development of thought, logical
panning, attention to stylistic features, word appropriateness, rules of usage, and so
come into full play.
6. 6. d. The style invites the reader to enter into a personal experience of creative
discovery, such as literary texts, like poetry, which he may memorize, replay, and refeel,
and to find more profound values and meanings with each repetition, transforming the
texts into a frozen one (Broderick, 1976). e. As the most highly formal style. It uses the
most complex grammatical sentence structure and vocabulary known only to experts in a
particular field.
7. 7. f. it utilizes customary, ritualized expressions that allow listeners (or readers) to
identify the large speech event in which it is embedded (e.g., a marriage vow, a judicial
sentencing). g. Documents written in this style practically have no variation in the range
of their expression, no deviation from preset norms (e.g., statutes, briefs, appellate
opinions, insurance policies, contracts, leases, and wills).
8. 8. 2. FORMAL STYLE This style, whose aim is to inform, is intended for a captive
audience.
9. 9. a. Like the frozen style, this is impersonal and marked for social distances. b. it
required advance planning and preparation because the speaker (or writer) is “under
obligation to provide a plan for the whole sentence before he begins uttering it, and a
delimitation of field for his whole discourse before he embarks on it.”
10. 10. c. Formal style of writing needs careful editing. d. In speaking, what the speaker
says is something that has been prepared beforehand (e.g., reading the news or
delivering a speech). e. Formal English is used in “serious” texts and situations –for
example, in official documents, books, news reports, magazine or journal articles,
business letters, or official speeches.
11. 11. f. Its usually elaborate complex sentences and noun phrases are well structured,
logically sequenced, and strongly coherent. It uses formal words and expressions. Study
this example : “Toyota’s sales bounced back in March as substantial discounts helped to
win back customers who had been shaken by the firm’s mass safety recalls.” Compare it
with its casually or informally expressed counterpart: “ Did you see Toyota’s sale figures?
Look like the discounts have actually worked.”
12. 12. g. The standard of correctness in this style is high. Some phrases, which are
considered correct (or at least acceptable) in casual, informal English, are wrong in
formal English. For instance, refer to the following sentences: “We have made less
mistakes.” (formal: “We made less mistakes.”) “She’s liking it.” (formal: “ She likes it.”) “I
feel real good.” (formal: I feel really good.”)
13. 13. 3. CONSULTATIVE STYLE This is the normal style for speaking to strangers or
persons who are neither acquaintances nor friends or relatives (e.g., in a dialog or
interview). a. The two defining features of this style are (a) “the speaker supplies
background information– he does not assume that he will be understood without it, and
(b) the listener participates continuously.”
14. 14. b. This speech style uses feedback and listener participation. The information
provided by the communicators in their responses is just enough for participation and
cooperation in the exchange, and the speaker depends on the listener’s responses in
deciding whether he is being understood, should be more specific, or should reformulate
what he is going to say next while he is speaking.
15. 15. c. It is more or less the self-imposed style for communicating with strangers with
whom we feel we share sociocultural and situational assumptions or opinions in a
general way. d. It is unplanned speech; it is “unmarked” or the baseline and ordinary
type of speech in American English among persons who do not know each other. For
instance, the business exchange or dialog that takes place via telephone, which is filled
with contractions (e.g., “we’re” for “we are,” “that’s” for “that is”), fillers and hedges (e.g.,
“oh, ”I see,” ”ah” and "well”)
16. 16. 4. CASUAL OR INFORMAL STYLE This style is used in conservations between
friends and insiders who have something to share and have shared background
information.
17. 17. a. It is marked by various degrees of implicitness because of intimacy between
speaker (or writer) and listener (or reader). b. There is free and easy participation of
both speaker (or writer) and listener (or reader). c. Casual or informal language is a
carefree way of communicating , and one in which those who know you can easily
understand or relate to.
18. 18. d. It is appropriate to use casual language in situations where speech is improved
and not prepared ahead of time, or when the writer is writing quickly without editing (e.g.,
internet chat rooms, blogs , personal emails, or tweets). e. You also use casual
language when you want to get to know someone on a more personal level, or you want
the personal level, or you want the person to feel at ease.
19. 19. (example from E.) For example, a simple greeting with those you know well might
probably be the casual “Hi,” “Hey, What’s up?” or “How’s it going?” not the formal “How
do you do?” or “Nice to meet you, Mr./Mrs./Ms.,Dr., Rev.” When you are in a dinner party
with friends, and you need to leave for an urgent phone call , you might say, “One sec” or
“I’ll be back,” not the formal “Would you please excuse me for a moment?” or “Excuse
me,” which might perhaps use with your teacher or your boss.
20. 20. f. The defining devices of casual or informal style are ellipsis, slang, profanity, and
unconventional English; ellipsis comes in the form of omission of phonological,
grammatical, or lexical units. For example , instead of saying “ I believe that I can go with
you,” you might say to a friend “ I believe I can go with you ,” omitting “that,” or “ Believe
c’n go with you,” omitting both “I” and “a” of “can.”
21. 21. g. The diction or vocabulary is informal , colloquial. Some of the vocabulary used
only in casual situations are “dude” (a person); “ freaking out” (getting scared; wondering
what was happening); “uh-huh” (yes); “nope” (no); “puke” (throw up); “stuff” (things); “to
tick someone off” (to upset someone); “like crazy” (a lot or excessively; usually with a
verb).
22. 22. h. Its casual language uses words/phrases that are shortened like “I’m doin’ it my
way” (doing); “Lemme go!” (let me go); “Whatcha gonna do?” (what are you going to
do?); “Whassup?” (what’s up?); “ I kinda wanna go to the movies” (kind of want to).
23. 23. 4. INTIMATE STYLE This style is used in conversations between people who are
very close and know each other quite well because of having maximum of shared
background information.
24. 24. a. it is characterized by an economy of words, with a high incidence of significant
nonverbal communication, such as gesture, facial expression, eye contact, and so on.
b. There is free and easy participation of both speaker and listener, and is far from
elliptical than the casual, informal. Ex: If the sentence “Coffee’s cold” is used as an
example in casual speech style, then “Cold” is the equivalent sentence in intimate style.
25. 25. c. Intimate style is often not heard in court proceedings although the affirmative “Uh-
huh” is sometimes used by witnesses. d. Intimate style, however, may be used among
jurors during their out-of-the-courtroom deliberations after their intense, highly formal
interaction inside the courtroom.
26. 26. Joo’s styles are ranked in terms of the relationship between speaker (or writer) and
listener (or reader) on a level of formality, from the most formal to the least formal style:
27. 27. (a) frozen style- like a cold form of communication meant to discourage someone
from participating. (b) formal style- for instance, a speech in an official setting. (c)
consultative style- with “a conversation between strangers” as example. (d) casual style-
such as a conversation between friends. (e) intimate style- such as a private
conversation between two persons who know each other extremely well.
28. 28. Try it Out! A 20-year-old employee is suspended of having kidnapped the four-year-
old son of the owner of the factory where the employee is working. Pretend that you are a
news reporter assigned to interview both the suspect and the mother of the victim. Which
of the speech style will you use to gain the suspect’s trust and cooperation? On the other
hand, which style can you use to make the victim’s mother feel better and lessen her
suffering?

Speech Styles
Post published:September 11, 2018
Post category:ORAL COMMUNICATION
According to Martin Joos (1976:156), speech style here means the form
of language that the speaker uses which characterized by the degree of
formality. He identified the styles in five classes such as frozen style,
formal style, consultative style, casual style, and intimate style. There are
different types of speech styles, the following are frozen, intimate, formal,
casual, and consultative speeches.
3. Formal
Formal speeches are straightforward speeches. In this speech style, the
speaker avoids using slang terminologies, what the speaker says is
something that has been prepared beforehand, its complex sentence and
noun phrases are well structured, logically sequenced and strongly
coherent.
4. Casual
This is an informal communication between groups and peers. Casual style
is used in conversation between friends and insiders who have something
to share and have shared background information but don’t have close
relations.
5. Consultative
This is used in semi-formal communication, sentences end to be shorter
and spontaneous, the speaker does not usually plan what he/she wants to
say, most operational among others.
Frozen speech style is usually used in formal settings. It is the most formal style of communication
wherein the audience is not allowed to raise questions to the speaker. It is a style of communication
that almost never changes. It has a fixed and static language and uses long sentences with good
command of grammar.
