- Examples: National Anthem, Holy Mass, religious rites, oaths, creeds
Formal: Straightforward, formal language avoiding slang and contractions. Speakers must prepare beforehand
- Examples: Sermons in Mass, graduation speeches, announcements in school, declarations, political speeches
Consultative: A semi-formal style where speakers provide background information and expert advice. There is an active participation between speaker and listener.
- Examples: One-on-one tutoring, job interviews, conversations between a doctor and a patient, therapy sessions
Casual: Informal language used among friends or peers. Slang, vulgarity, and contractions are common.
- Examples: Everyday conversations with friends, personal messages, emails to friends
Intimate: Used for close relationships with no social barriers, with the use of informal and intimate language.
- Examples: Sharing secrets with friends, conversations between family members, personal conversations
