said, done, expressed or performed,” and

it corresponds to specific speech
contexts.

 By simply listening in, one can recognize
the speech style used by two people engaged
in a conversation. In the same manner, it is
also not very difficult to employ the style
appropriate to the situation and the person
you are talking to.

  An excerpt from President Rodrigo Roa Duterte 2016
SONA (TRANSLATED)
During my inauguration last 30 [June] 2016, I said that the fight
against criminality and illegal drugs and corruption will be
relentless and sustained. I reiterate that commitment today. And
that is why I call on the Philippine National Police, the barangay
chairmen, the Mayors, and Governors and all those occupying
seats of power and authority, not to lower their guard. There will
be no let-up in this campaign. Double your efforts. Triple them, if
need be. We will not stop until the last drug lord, the last
financier, and the last pusher have surrendered or put behind bars
or below the ground, if they so wish.

Types of
LANGUAGE REGISTERS

*Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Based on Joo’s (1967) definitions, there are 5 types of speech style:

Frozen or “Static”
Register
Formal Register
Consultative Register
Casual Register
Intimate Register *Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
1. Frozen or “Static” Register
 At this level, language is literally “frozen”
in time and form. It does not change. This
type of language is often learned and
repeated by rote.
Examples include biblical verse, prayers, the
Pledge of Allegiance, and so forth.

*Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

2. Formal Register
 This style is impersonal and often follows a
prescriptive format. The speaker uses complete
sentences, avoids slang and may use technical
or academic vocabulary. It is likely that the
speaker will use fewer contractions, but opt
instead for complete words. (Example: “have
not” instead of “haven’t”).

*Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

3. Consultative Register
 This is the register used when consulting
an expert such as a doctor. The language
used is more precise. The speaker is likely
to address the expert by a title such as
“Doctor”, “Mr.” or “Mrs.”.

*Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

4. Casual Register
 This register is conversational in tone.
It is the language used among and
between friends. Words are general,
rather than technical. This register may
include more slang and colloquialisms.

*Juan Sumulong Memorial Schools System Inc. – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

5. Intimate Register
 The language used by lovers. It is also
the language used in sexual harassment.
This is the most intimate form of
language. It is best avoided in public and
professional situations.
