PERIOD WEEK 7: Oct. 5-Oct.9, 2020 MODULE NO. 7


INTRODUCTION

In the previous module, we learned about the different speech context. In this module, we will be talking
about the different speech styles. In general, Speech Context refers to the purpose of the speech- why you are
giving the speech- while Speech Style refers to how you deliver your intended message.
Once you are clear on the Speech Context, you then are usually free to choose your Speech Style. The style
refers to how you achieve delivering your message to the audience and is usually based on your personal
preference. You might choose to tell a personal story that illustrates your message as well. Of course, in some
cases, you might not be able to choose your style, as some situations do not permit this or at least limit your
ability to do so. Speech Style is where you get to add your own individual flair in a way that will help you deliver
your message to the audience.
Speech Context refers to the purpose of the speech- why you are giving the speech (occasion) and who you
are giving the speech to (audience), and Speech Style refers to how you deliver your message.

TOPIC 1: SPEECH STYLES

According to Martin Joos (1976:156), speech style means the form of language that the speaker uses which
characterized by the degree of formality known as the register. He identified the styles in five classes such as
frozen style, formal style, consultative style, casual style, and intimate style. There are different types of
speech styles, the following are frozen, intimate, formal, casual, and consultative speeches.

1. FROZEN STYLE
Used generally in very formal setting. Most formal communicative style for respectful situation. Does not
require any feedback from the audience. Usually uses long sentences with good grammar and vocabulary
The use of language is fixed and relatively static
Examples:
national pledge, anthem, school creeds, marriage ceremonies, speech for a state ceremony

2. FORMAL STYLE
Used in speaking to medium to large groups. May also be used in single hearers- strangers, older persons,
professional. Speaker must frame whole sentences ahead before they are delivered. Avoids using slang
terminologies. Language is comparatively rigid and has a set, agreed upon vocabulary that is well documented;
is often of a standard variety.
Examples:
meetings, speeches, school lessons, court, a corporate meeting, at a swearing in ceremony, in an interview
or in a classroom

3. CONSULTATIVE STYLE
Used in semi-formal communication. Happens in two-way participation. Most operational among other styles.
Speaker does not usually plan what he wants to say. Sentences end to be shorter and spontaneous
Examples:
regular conversation at schools, companies, group discussion, teacher-student, doctor-patient, expert-
apprentice
4. CASUAL STYLE
Language used between friends. Often very relaxed and focused on just getting the information out. Slangs
are quite often used in these instances. This style is used in informal situations and language. Relationship
between speaker and hearer is closed.
Examples:
casual conversations with friends, family members, chats, phone calls and messages

5. INTIMATE STYLE
Completely private language used within family of very close friends or group. Uses personal language codes.
Grammar is unnecessary. Does not need complete language. Certain terms of endearment, slangs or
expressions whose meaning is shared with a small subset of persons to person
Examples:
talking about their future plans, family sharing ideas, very close friends sharing secrets, etc.
