Example “This assignment is not acceptable in its present format.” Formal speech, especially when heavily specialised, such as in commerce or education: often used to address a group. Examples: a Parliamentary enquiry; School Assembly; a school inspection report, a formal University Lecture or symposium. Heavily structured documents, such as instruction books and manuals. Brabantio’s accusation (but lapses towards consultative when passion overwhelms him): Othello’s commands - ‘Keep up your bright Swords’ - Othello’s and Desdemona’s defence of their love: Desdemona’s appeal to accompany Othello to Cyprus. ‘Nevermore be officer of mine’. Frequently in blank verse in Drama Consultative A mix of formal and casual register. Example: “I can’t accept the assignment the way it is.” Used when teaching in a relatively to-and-fro atmosphere: peer-to-peer consultation, business meetings which involve discussion. May occasionally use specialist vocabulary, such as in relaxed teaching or professional groups. The discussion in the council: slightly racier, inquiries, such as Othello’s investigation into the on the Wedding night.
