Study Notes
Communication Styles Matrix
- The Communication Styles Matrix is a tool used to understand different communication styles in multicultural contexts.
- Developed by Dr. Eileen M. Russo, the matrix categorizes communication styles into two dimensions: assertiveness level and expressiveness level.
- Assertive communicators tell others what to do and how to do it, while less assertive communicators prefer to receive instructions.
- Expressive communicators display their feelings through expressions, tone of voice, or language, while less expressive communicators tend to hide their feelings.
Communication Style Profiles
- Spirited: High Expressiveness + High Assertiveness
- Considerate: High Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness
- Direct: Low Expressiveness + High Assertiveness
- Systematic: Low Expressiveness + Low Assertiveness

Linguistic Evolution in the Philippines
- The modern generation is changing language usage, challenging traditional structures and grammar.
- The influence of social sub-groups and language theorists creates evolving linguistic structures.
- New words and phrases are introduced and integrated into the vocabulary, some of which are still debated for formal inclusion in dictionaries.
- Word reversal, a linguistic trend in the Philippines, involves reversing the way words are pronounced.
- Examples: "repapips" (friends), "ermats" (mother), "erpats" (father).
- This trend continues with modern slang terms like "lodi" (idol) and "petmalu" (tremendous).
