impersonal style

    0.12 sec.

impersonal style

Style of communication where the speaker or writer deliberately distances him- or herself from what is being said or written. The effect is language that is (or at least seems) objective, free of bias or emotion. The use of the passive voice and formal language is characteristic of an impersonal style.
