## Types of Speech Style The context dictates and affects the way people communicate, which results in various speech styles. According to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles: 1. **Intimate** - This style is private, which occurs between or among close family members or individuals. The language used in this style may not be shared in public. 2. **Casual** - This style is common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular language is used. 3. **Consultative** - This style is the standard one. Professional or mutually acceptable language is a must in this style. Examples of situations are communication between teachers and students, employers and employees, doctor and patient, judge and lawyer, or President and his/her constituents. 4. **Formal** - This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative style, this is one-way. Examples are sermons by priests and ministers, State of the Nation Address of the President, formal speeches, or pronouncements by judges. 5. **Frozen** - This style is "frozen" in time and remains unchanged. It mostly occurs in ceremonies. Common examples are the Preamble to the Constitution, Lord's Prayer, and Allegiance to country or flag.
