Consultative (Joos) Two way participation; background info is provided - prior knowledge is not assumed. Backchannel behavior is common, interruptions are allowed (e.g. teacher/student "I can't accept this in its current format")
Casual (Joos) In group of friends and acquaintances; no background info provided; ellipsis and slang common (e.g. This work is a no-go can't take it)
Intimate (Joos) Non-public, intonation more important than working or grammar; private vocab. Also includes non verbal messages. Most common among family and close friends
