ASSIGNMENT 2.0

PART 1: COMMUNICATION STYLES

1.SPIRITED
People with spirited communication style love to flesh out ideas, brainstorming, and talk
about the big picture. They are tend to be enthusiastic, intuitive, and friendly who are adept at
persuading, motivating, and inspiring other. Moreover, their communication may be full of
grand ideas that tend to be very persuasive to others at first. However, they are not always very
good at discussing the detail or the exact steps in the process. For example, when a spirited
type of people shares their wonderful ideas about a certain topic, it will be difficult for them to
stop talking. However, despite all the information they shared, spirited people can have a hard
time nailing down the details or the process to come up to their wonderful ideas due to the
reason that they have high expressiveness. They will keep sharing their personal experiences in
order to demonstrate or to point out their thoughts. In a situation like this, keeping to an
agenda is sometimes a challenge for them in both time management and to remain focus.

2. CONSIDERATE
Considerate communication style is when a person is having a high
expressiveness and low assertiveness. For example, today is Monday and Ma'am Geron
gives us an activity which is due on Sunday. Days passed and the due date comes, most
of the students pass their activity before due but there are five people who are not yet
passing.  She considered that maybe one of them is having a bad internet connection,
no gadgets to use or maybe having a hard time to catch up with the lesson so she
encouraged them to still send the activity even if it’s late.

3. DIRECT
Direct communication styles make the author's intentions obvious. They say
exactly what they mean and generally use a tone of voice that is forthright. And one
example video of it is the noontime tele-drama of GMA " Tadhana " wherein the
narrator of true to life story acts like nothing will offend. She were being stick to the
point of how the story flows and characters to perform. This way of style in
communication is somehow useful for the people watching a play, because it brings
intense thought in mind for the audience.
4. SYSTEMATIC

This clip shows different communication style. For my part I will explain the
systematic communication style. Systematic communication style is when a person have
a low expressiveness and low assertiveness. The guy on the left side is not able to talk as
he waiting for some silence to raise his voice. He can’t express or show his opinion on
the meeting not like the others doing. He is lack of expressing his thoughts or opinion
and he is also lack of confidence compare to others who can express their selves and
has a confident to express their thoughts or opinion.

PART 4: POINT IF DISCUSSSION - CONYO

In the Philippines, the term “conyo” often refers to a language where people speak
Taglish; a combination of the English and Tagalog language. This language variety makes a
unique characteristic for being conyo wherein people speak urban slang that combined English
and Tagalog words in a phrase, this conyo lines are funny and cringe at the same time. Conyo
language is a cultural identification where its speakers can be described as having a profound
cultural ambivalence. Conyo speakers use it not spontaneously, like in situations of code-
switching, but intentionally to demarcate their own space. This conyo language can be both
classified as a kind of person and a kind of speech. It is an identifiable form of Taglish that is
ideologically linked to a recognizable type of privileged youth in the upper class; who grew up
speaking English as their primary language because they know only a little bit of Filipino or
Tagalog languages. Speakers like them are not as fluent with Tagalog and have a limited Tagalog
vocabulary. This same situation also occurs for Filipino-Americans who grew up in the USA
knowing only English with hardly any practice in using Tagalog and it goes the same with the
Filipinos who are using this conyo language because they are not fluent in the English language.
We can usually hear this in everyday conversations among high school and college students and
also used by many Filipinos in posting some signages that we can see on many places and
particularly in social media. We all know that using this language variety some of us have
adjusted and accepted this, while others have felt annoyed and irritated when they heard and see
this conyo language used by other people. However, the phenomenon is part of the spectrum of
fluency between pure English speakers and pure Tagalog speakers. Most people will fall
somewhere in between the two extremes. We can say that this is not a big deal as long as it is not
being used in formal situations. In our opinion, we have diverse dialects and hundreds of
regional accents. Tagalog has lots of variations and it’s dependent on which region or province
we are from. We understand that those who speak the conyo language with authenticity are doing
so because of their limited range of vocabulary for Tagalog or English language.

PART 4: LANGUAGE REGISTERS

1. FORMAL
 Workplace is where an individual work physically. To make the workplace enjoyable and
bring about the feeling of accomplishment, good communication skills and channels is vital. The
communication should be good between employees and employers. At workplace in most
areas, it is the formal channel of communication being used to ensure a proper channel of
information flow between the superior and their subordinate. This results in a clear
establishment of line of authority and workflow. Certified Public Accountants tend to operate
behind the scenes, but everyone knows they are the backbone of any business’ success. That
means they do more than adding up numbers on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and tracking
numbers. A CPA’s main duty is to prepare and examine financial documents. This can include
anything from analyzing data, financial reports, budgets, tax returns and government agency
records. CPA’s prepared these documents in a formal text written in a impersonal, objective,
neutral, and professional way. The purpose of formal writing is for the information to be as
clear, well-constructed, and unambiguous as possible when it provide to stakeholders,
regulators, decision-makers and to other users of these documents. In addition, aside from
documents, formal language register is also used as a channel of communication. It is an
etiquette to speak formally to your colleagues and superior as a way of respect as professional.
Thus, CPA's also lead meeting and giving presentation to colleagues and clients that’s why it is
necessary to use formal language.

2. CASUAL
Certified Public Accountant is a trusted financial advisor who helps individuals,
business, and other organizations plan and reach their financial goals. Casual language
register is a language that used communicating with friends, close acquaintances and
family members using an informal tone. CPA’s use this language registers when they are
communicating inside the office to their colleague, making some chitchats when they
have a free time or while doing their job. They can only use this language to those
people whom their comfortable with.
3. INTIMATE
CPA's are also a normal human being, they socialize and make friends in the
workplace. They show their intimacy between their friends during break time or outside
the workplace. Even they have the responsibility as CPA, they have allotted time for
their friends to showcase the love and joy. They just give more focus with their job
instead of wasting time with other things behind them.

4. FROZEN
Certified Public Accountants or CPA are upper-level accountants who are
recognized as experts in an organization’s accounting records, taxes and financial
standing. Frozen language register is language that is rarely or never change. Example of
this is pledge of allegiance, the bible, preamble to the constitution and law. As a
Certified Public Accountant we should be expert when it comes to taxes. CPAs use this
language register If their work is related to taxes. As we know taxes is connected to law
since the preparation  of tax requirements and it is related in compliance with legal
requirements.

5. CONSULTATIVE
Consultative language register is a semi-formal and acceptable speech often used in a
semiformal situation where a speaker needs to provide background information because the
listener may not be able to understand without it. It is also used in ordinary conversations or
routine transactions that lead to an outcome or result. Some examples of this language register
include discourse between teachers and students, judges and lawyers, doctors and patients, and
between a superior and a subordinate. In our case, as a future accountant, we also need to know
how do accountants used consultative register in their profession for interacting with clients and
customers. When the clients went for an accountant for consultation, that’s what we called
consultative register, wherein, the language and the way of communicating used by an
accountant in interacting with them are to provide an expert opinion, analysis, and
recommendations to organizations or individuals, based on their own expertise and knowledge.
They provide clients, such as companies and individuals, with services that help them analyze
financial information so that they can make important business decisions. For example, a client
needs an accounting consultation, their conversation may flow like this:
Accountant: “Good morning, Mr. Gomez, what can I do for you?
Client: “Good morning, I’m here to ask for help; my business needs a financial
forecasting
can you help me to do that?
Accountant: Yes, sir! I’ll see what I can do, but first, I need your financial plan and
financial information so I can analyze and examine it.
Client: Oh! Yes of course, here is our financial information for this year including our
financial plan.
Accountant: Okay sir, I just need to look at this and I’ll keep you updated on some
information that I can get from this, so that we can look for what plan and decisions that
you need to do.
Client: Oh, sure! Thank you. You can call me if you finalized everything.
Accountant: Okay sir! Thank you, have a nice day.
In the given example the consultative style is used between an Accountant and a client.
Notice how the participants use a more formal language compared to intimate and casual styles.
Observe also that one of the participants supplies the necessary information for understanding,
and that there is a cooperation between the participants in order to achieve a particular outcome.
