Speech Context and Style

Speech context refers to the setting and manner in which communication takes place. There are two main types of speech context: interpersonal, which involves communication between people, and intrapersonal, which is communication with oneself. Context is important because it helps establish meaning, influence what is said and how, build relationships, and make messages easier to understand. The main types of interpersonal speech contexts are dyadic communication between two people, small group communication among 3-15 people, and public communication where one speaker addresses a large audience. Different speech styles like intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and frozen are appropriate depending on the context.

SPEECH CONTEXT

AND STYLE
TASK :

Differentiate types of
speech context
WHAT IS SPEECH CONTEXT?
Speech context is the way that people use to
communicate and transmit message orally or
verbally. It can be interpersonal where you can
talk with the other people. Intrapersonal where
you can talk to yourself especially when
thinking and making decisions.
WHAT IS CONTEXT IN
COMMUNICATION?
Context refers to the setting in which
communication takes place. The context helps
establish meaning and can influence what is said
and how it is said.
WHY IS CONTEXT IMPORTANT?

Context is importance because it helps you


connect and create a relationship with the reader.
It helps you communicate your point of view
clearly making it easier to understand. It allows
you and others to be more creative.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
SPEECH CONTEXT?
• Context is critical, because it tells you, the
receiver, what importance to place on
something, what assumptions to draw (or not)
about what is being communicated, and most
importantly, it puts meaning into the message.
TYPES OF SPEECH CONTEXT

Intrapersonal- It refers to the communication with


one’s self.

Example: You spent the night thinking and analyzing


why a student from the other class talked to you on
the way home and you decided it probably meant
nothing.
• Interpersonal- This refers to
communication between and among people
and establishes personal relationship
between and among them.
TYPES OF INTERPERSONAL CONTEXT

1. Dyadic Communication- This involves only two


participants forming the DYAD. One Speaker and one
Listener come together to exchange thoughts, ideas,
opinions, ‘ and information. The roles of Speaker and
Listener are not fixed, they are interchangeable.
SMALL GROUP COMMUNICATION
Small Group Communication requires from 3 to 15 people to
study an issue, discuss a problem, and come up with a solution or
a plan. This is not just a gathering of people with no goal in mind
but to pass the time. The group has an agenda, a leader, and an
outcome to accomplish. Because everyone can be both Speaker
and Listener in this setting, rules must be followed to facilitate
the order. Order allows for a full discussion, which leads to a
compromise and the hoped for result: a solution or a plan.
PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
Public Communication is different from Dyadic or Small
Group Communication in that one Speaker addresses many
Listeners, collectively known as an Audience. There is no
interchanging of the Speaker and Listener roles. Many
Public Communication events are formal. The speech is
well prepared, the Speaker is dressed appropriately, and the
Listeners are set to listen to the Message. Moreover, there
is usually a stage, a lectern, and a microphone coupled with
a sound system and, sometimes, spotlights.
MASS COMMUNICATION
Mass Communication is any of the above human verbal
interactions carried out with the aid of mass media technology.
Mass media used to mean only radio and television, which reached
more people with the use of their technical systems. With the
advent of the Internet and the worldwide web, Mass
Communication now includes Social Media, which allow for the
use of technology by everyone, not just journalists, broadcasters,
and technical crew. Social Media cover videos that go viral on the
Internet as well as webcasts/ podcasts which reach millions, more
than radio or TV ever could.
TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

1. Intimate – This style is private, which occurs


between or among closed family members or
individual. The language used in this style may
not be shared in public.
CASUAL

This style is common among peers


and friends. Jargon, slang, or the
vernacular language are used.
CONSULTATIVE

This style is the standard one. Professional or


mutual acceptable language is a must in this
style.
Example: Teacher to student, Employer to
employee, doctor to patient, judge to lawyer.
FORMAL

This style is used for formal setting. Unlike the


consultative style, this is one-way.
Example: Sermons by priest and minister, SONA
of the president. Formal speech,
FROZEN

This style is frozen in time and remains


unchanged. It mostly occurs in ceremonies.
Examples: PREAMBLE TO THE
CONSTITUTION, Lord’s prayer, allegiance to
country flag
