the channel of intrapersonal communication.

TYPES OF SPEECH CONTEXT


1. Intimate style is a manner of communicating we use among very close friends, family members, and
loved ones. It is the style in which meaning is shared even without correct linguistic forms. One is not
concerned with creating expressions or committing mistakes. One may also use codes peculiar to the
communicators. These codes can be a form of endearment, or these can be jargons and slang
expressions understandable between the parties involved. For example, you may rush into the room,
tap your friend’s shoulder before you rush out again and whisper, “BRB”. Your friend would simply shove
you with a waving hand, because he/she understands your message as “be right back.”
2. Casual style is common among peers and friends. This is an informal interaction among communicators.
This is characterized by a certain degree of familiarity among colleagues, friends, and acquaintances.
The use of slang, jargons, street language, or vernacular language is used.
3. Consultative style is used among people who do not share common experiences or meaning. This does
not preclude disclosure of background information later in order to become the basis of shared meaning.
This style requires a two-way participation and interruptions can occur during the communication.
4. Formal style is used only for imparting information. The speech is well-organized and correct in grammar
and diction. The speaker usually prepares in advance so that content is logically organized, and the
structure is polished. This style has a limited interaction among the participants. The feedback and
reaction usually happen at the end of the delivery of the speech. This speech style is evident in public
communication like conferences, inauguration, and the like.
5. Frozen style is characterized by lack of participation and feedbacking from the receiver’s end. This is
often seen in informal ceremonies and rituals. The language used in this speech style is often filled with
allusions and rich lexicons. The rendering of the utterances formal and monotone. The content of frozen
speech style is often kept intact until the community involved decides to revise it.
