situations for each type of speech
context
• identify various speech styles
• determine the appropriate speech
contexts and styles in given
communicative situations
Types of Speech Contexts
Intrapersonal
• centers in one person
• Speaker acts as the sender and receiver of
message.

EXAMPLES:
• 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.
• You felt happy while thinking about how your
teacher appreciated you for submitting your
project before the due date.
Interpersonal
• refers to communication
between and among people and
establishes personal relationship
between and among them
• When you engaged in this form
of communication, you and
another person become linked
together.
• Your unique qualities as a person
matter during interpersonal
communication.
Types of Interpersonal
Context
Dyad Communication
• Communication that occurs between two
people.

EXAMPLE:
• You offered feedback on the speech
performance of your classmate.
• You provided comfort to a friend who
was feeling down.
Small Group
• Involves at least three but not more
than ten people engaging in a face-to-
face interaction working to achieve a
desired goal.
EXAMPLE:
• You are participating in an
organization meeting which aims to
address the concerns of your fellow
students.
• You are having a discussion with your
group mates on how to finish the
assigned tasks.
Public
• Communication that requires you to
deliver or send the message before or in
front of a group.
• The message can be driven by
informational persuasive purposes.
• The channels are more exaggerated in
this type of communication.
• Voice is louder and gestures are more
expansive because the audience is
bigger.
• Additional visual channels such as Power
Point presentation may be used.
Mass Communication

• refers to communication that


takes place through television,
radio, newspapers, magazines,
books, billboards, internet, and
other types of media
EXAMPLE:
• You are a student journalist
articulating your stand on
current issues through the
school’s newspaper.
Types of
Speech Styles
Intimate
• Style is private.
• This occurs between or among close
family members or intimate
individuals.
• The language used in this style may
not be shared in public.
Casual

• Style is common among


peers and friends.
• Jargon, slang, street
language, gay language or
vulgar words are used.
Consultative
• Style is standard.
• Professional or mutually acceptable
language must be in style.
• Examples are between student and
teacher, employers and employees,
doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer, or President and his/her
constituents.
Formal
• Style is in formal settings.
• Unlike consultative, this is one-
way.
• Examples are sermons by
priests and ministers, State of
the Nation Address of the
President, formal speeches, or
pronouncement by judges.
Frozen
• Style is “frozen” in time and
remains unchanged. It mostly
occurs in ceremonies.
• Examples are the Preamble to
the Constitution, Lord’s
Prayer, and Allegiance to the
country or flag.
