Colloquial Styles
Colloquial style is the type of speech which is used in situation that allows certain deviations from the rigid pattern of literary speech used not only in a private conversation, but also in private correspondence. So the style is applicable both to the written and oral varieties of the speech. The terms "colloquial" and "bookish" do not exactly correspond to the oral and written forms of speech. Maltzev suggests terms "formal" and "informal" and states that colloquial style is the part of informal variety of English which is used orally in conversation.
The main functions of this style: communicative, contacting and emotive. Following Arnold and Skrebnev we distinguish Literary and Familiar colloquial styles.
E.g. They are holding a meeting to discuss the issue. (Standard) They are getting together to talk it over. (Literary colloquial) They are sitting down to wrap about it. (Familiar colloquial)
