Based on Martin Joos theory, formal or deliberative style can be identified by the using of standard language in the data. In the data, we can see. All figures use the
standart language in speaking. It is also connected with the relation between participant or to whom we are talking in. The participants in the conversation are the
people who work in the Government. They are the important figure and the high level. So, each of them must speak formally. The using of words like sir, mr and your
majesty and the short responses of Bertie Such as “I didn’t; thank you” are also indicate that there is a different social class, status and higher position, so it is why
the data can be categorized into formal style.
