- Speech style is also called language registers.
- Dutch linguist Martin Joos describes five speech styles: intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and frozen.
Intimate Style
- Intimate conversations occur between people with close alliances or relationships.
- Characterized by informal language, private vocabulary, and non-verbal cues.
- Example: Married couples, lovers, and family members.
Casual Style

- Characterized by a set structure that does not change over time.
