A method and an apparatus for style control in natural language recognition and generation are provided, wherein an acoustic input is received comprising at least one source language. The acoustic input comprises words, sentences, and phrases in a natural spoken language. Source expressions are recognized in the source language. Style parameters are determined for the source expression. The style parameters may be extracted from the source expression, set by the user, or randomly selected by the natural language system. A recognized source expression is selected and confirmed by a user through a user interface. The recognized source expressions are translated from the source language to a target language. An acoustic output is generated from the translated target language source expressions using the style parameters. The style parameters comprise variations selected from a group comprising formality, local dialect, gender, and age variations.
