to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles. These are 1)intimate, (2) casual, (3) consultative, (4) formal, and (5)
frozen. Each style dictates what appropriate language or vocabulary should be used or observed.

used In this style may not be shared in public.
2.Casual
 This style is common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, street language, gay language or vulgar words are
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.
