Levels of formality across languages
Levels of formality are key to define the tone of a given speech. Various writing styles, idiomatic expressions, verbal morphology, and pronoun variations may have a different formality level across languages, countries, social groups, or professional domains. These variations may have an impact on those trying to immerse themselves in a different culture.Across languages, levels of formality can largely be grouped into four categories: formal, neutral, informal, and vulgar.
