Speech style refers to the unique way in which people deliver information to others. It involves using the most appropriate methods to ensure the message is conveyed effectively. Speech style is made up of choices regarding a wide range of linguistic features, including vocabulary, syntactic patterns, volume, pace, pitch, and intonation. There are different types of speech styles, including:

• Frozen Style: This is the most formal communicative style used in very formal settings, such as national pledges, anthems, school creeds, marriage ceremonies, and speeches for state ceremonies. It does not require any feedback from the audience and usually uses long sentences with good grammar and vocabulary.

• Formal Style: This style is used in speaking to medium to large groups and may also be used in single hearers, strangers, older persons, and professionals. The speaker must frame whole sentences ahead before they are delivered and avoids using slang terminologies. The language is comparatively rigid and has a set, agreed-upon vocabulary that is well documented.

• Consultative Style: This style is used in semi-formal communication and happens in two-way participation. It is most operational among other styles, and the speaker does not usually plan what they want to say. Sentences tend to be shorter and spontaneous.

• Casual Style: This style is used between friends and is 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, and the relationship between speaker and hearer is closed.

Speech style is not only influenced by geography but also by factors such as social background, education level, and personality. It can reveal a great deal about a person, including where they are from, their ethnicity, their gender, and their age. Speech style is a learned ability, and teachers have a duty to use the speech style that is proper or easier to be understood by the students.
