How do you say so, Lawrence?

Okay, thank you Lawrence.

You really pointed out how we
communicate with other
people.

As I asked you those question,

it relates with our topic “Types
of Communicative Styles”.

In communicative styles, your

manners and the way you
communicate has a big impact
in connecting with people. If
you are a good communicator,
conflicts will be avoided and
problems will be solved easily,
because this is one of the
important factors in connecting
with others.

There is an American linguist

named Martin Joos (1907-
1978) that defined the five (5)
types of communicative style.
These types are not exhaustive
but its aim is to describe the
main and most typical
communicative style of the
speaker of English language.
He defined purpose, audience,
topic and location as
differentiating factors that
affects the usage of these
styles.

In communicative styles, we
don’t only have its types, we
also have its structures. We
have two (2) structures in
communicative style; (1)
Formal and (2) Informal. I
know that you know and you
are familiar with these two.
Am I right?

Okay, good to know.

In formal structure it consists

the three types of
communicative styles; Static
Styles, Formal Style and
Consultative Style while the
informal structure has the
Casual Style and Intimate
Style.

Before proceeding, I have here

these words, sentences, place
and even a scenario. We will
categorize these as we are done
discussing each style.

Let us first define… It can also be the

that is static or intended to
remain unchanged. As it also
referred as “Frozen”, it is
frozen in time and content. Is National Anthem can
be also a Static Style,
eg., prayer, the Preamble of Ma’am?
the Philippines

Aside from the given example,

what do you think is also an
example of Static/Frozen
Style?

Yes, that’s correct. Thank you,

Sharmaine.
Anything else?

Of course, Ace. We should

respect the National Anthem When I heard the formal style, I

uses honorifics po like
Mr.,Ma’am or Sir.
Next is Formal Style, question,
when you hear the word
formal style, what comes in
your mind?

Yes, thank you Ace. Your

answer is correct and it is
similar with our definition of
formal style…
Formal Style- it is a language
used in formal, and academic
setting. The register is used
with respectful, restrained and
uninterrupted communication
that is formal and impersonal
and with a proper usage of
words that suits its audience.

eg., Ceremonial Speech,

Business presentation

Greetings
a. “Hello, Good morning.”
b. “How are you doing?”
c. “I hope everything is fine
with you.”
To show approval or
excitement

example of formal style, and
why do you think so?

Definitely, activities in the

classroom or school that
requires formal language is a
formal style.

Next is consultative, from the

word consult or consultation. It
is one of the easy and
noticeable style in
communication,

Consultative Style- it is often

used in conversing with a
person with specialization and
knowledgeable of a certain
field. It is formal and
professional discourse, yet
slang may also be used in
respectful manner.

eg., doctor & patient, teacher

& student

Situation: A patient is
consulting a doctor.
Patient: Good morning, Dr.
Garcia.
Dr. Garcia: Hi, how have you
been feeling?
Patient: I have stomachache
and LBM since last night.
Dr. Garcia: What did you eat Yes, Ma’am.
yesterday?
Patient: I ate some “kwek-
kwek” and siomai with my
friends after the class.
Dr. Garcia: Likely, you ate
contaminated food. I am
prescribing some medicine to
control the diarrhea. . .
Patient: Thank you, Doc.

Are we clear with

consultative?

Okay let’s proceed with casual

style. It’s the most common
one in a conversation.
Casual Style- an informal
communicative style used by
peers, acquaintances, family
and people with casual
relationships. It is the way you
think you want to talk with
others, wherein slang,
vulgarities, colloquial words
and contractions may use or
normal in the conversation.

eg., group mate, friends,

classmates

Classmate 1: Hey! What’s up?

You seem so very busy.
Classmate 2: Yes, I have to
finish some things up. It is usually happening inside
Classmate 1: Oh, I see.. Wanna the school po or even outside
come for a milktea at the your house whenever you are
canteen? with your friends or
Classmate 2: That’s acquaintances.
interesting! I wish I could but I
need to do this ASAP.
Classmate 1: Okay, just catch
up when you’re done!

Where do you think Casual

Style is also mostly
happening?

Yes, you are correct, Andrea.

It is used whenever you are
with the person you are already
connected or related.

Next is…
Intimate Style- it is said by
linguists that this style is
reserved for close family
members or intimate people. It
is often used by two people
and in private. Yes, Ma’am all clear.

eg., husband and wife, parent

and children

Husband: Hon, have you seen

my red cap?
Wife: Uhmm, I guess it is in
the closet.
Husband: Thanks, hon, I’ll
check it.
Wife: Okay, hon.
