-The Development Team

Communication is essential to a person’s existence. It is communication that
helps us form relationships, convey ideas, thoughts, and feelings. However, this does
not take place in a vacuum. It is always contextualized. It is important to understand
the speech context or the setting where the communication process happens.
This module focuses on the various ways and situations in which people
communicate. It examines how one’s style of speaking changes according to the
context and how it gives different responses from listeners. A person who knows how
to communicate effectively has generally better opportunities as well as deeper and
more meaningful relationships compared with someone who is unable to
communicate effectively. Today, being an effective communicator is an advantage.

Lesson

1 Identifying Types of Speech

Context
Imagine our lives if we were unable to express ourselves. We use
communication every day to convey our thoughts and feelings to other persons. How
we communicate determines partly how well we function as a member of a family, a
peer group, a community, and the world. However, the speech used changes
according to whether you are talking to yourself, to another person, to more than two
persons, or to the public.
In this lesson, you will study the different types of speech context.

Activity: Action Say

You communicate differently when you are talking to yourself, to another
person, to more than two persons, or to the public. Thus, making communication
contextual; it involves the situation, environment, psychological, and cultural context.
It may be formal or informal, personal or interpersonal depending on the relationship
of the communicators and the context. Speech context can be intrapersonal,
interpersonal (dyad or small group), public, and mass communication

TYPES OF SPEECH CONTEXT

1. Intrapersonal – This is the communication that occurs on one person where the
speaker acts both as the sender and the receiver of message.
Examples:
•You are weighing your options on what college degree to pursue. • You are
repeating the mantra, “You can do it.”, during research presentation.

When you do self-reflection, examine your attitudes, beliefs, opinions,

thoughts, ideas, and aspirations, doodle, make gestures while thinking, and write
journals or reflections you are doing intrapersonal communication. Remember, if
source who encodes and the recipient who decodes are one and the same person
and the brain is the channel of communication, it is therefore, intrapersonal
communication.

2. Interpersonal – This is the communication between and among people and

establishes personal relationship between and among them.
Types of Interpersonal Context
a. Dyad Communication – communication that occurs between two
people
Example:
• You are giving feedback on the speech performance of your
classmate. • You are providing comfort to your bestfriend who is feeling
down.

b. Small Group – This is the communication that involves at least

three but not more than twelve people engaging in a face-to-face
interaction to achieve a desired goal. All the participants in the
small group can freely share ideas in a loose and open discussion.
Example:
• You are attending in a meeting which aims to address the concerns of
your fellow students.
• You are discussing with your groupmates on how to finish the
assigned tasks.
 6
3. Public – This is a type communication that requires you to deliver or send the
message before or in front of a group. The message can be informational or
persuasive purposes.
Example:
• You are delivering a graduation speech to your batch.
• You are participating in a declamation, oratorical, or debate contest with an
audience.

4. Mass Communication – This is the communication in which the message is sent

through television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, internet, and
other types of media.
Example:
• You are saying your stand on current issues through the school’s
newspaper. • You are posting the schedule of the Supreme Student
Government election on the school’s social media account.

2Distinguishing Types of Speeches

We live in a world where everyone can express his/her ideas. Everybody has
something to say or to talk about. We talk to ourselves, to family and friends, or to a
greater public.
But public speaking is not simply talking about something in front of an
audience. It involves delivering an intended message to the audience and presenting
yourself formally to the public. There are several types of speeches you can use to
impart knowledge, to persuade, or to entertain in a given situation.

In this lesson, you will learn the types of speeches. Before you proceed, let’s
review the types of speech context.

Lesson 3 of Speech Styles
Distinguishing Types

Have you ever been interviewed or did an interview with another person?
Have you ever attended or conducted a meeting? If so, did the language you use
differ from your everyday language? You might have attended an informal gathering
in school or a more formal meeting at work or in the barangay. But for these
meetings and interviews to be successful, it should be conducted efficiently, politely,
and in an orderly manner. We may have different ways when we communicate but
using the appropriate expressions will help us have better and more productive
meetings and interviews.
Before we study the types of speech styles, let us first look into the word
“style”. Macmillan Dictionary defines style as the individual way that someone
behaves and does things. According to Martin Joos, a linguist and German
professor, speech style refers to the form of language that the speaker utilizes which
is characterized by the level of formality. Hence, it could be implied that the language
used by a person varies based on a given situation or setting and the persons
involved. We communicate depending on various speech contexts.

Activity: LET’S REVIEW

Directions: Shade the circle which corresponds to the correct answer.

1. A persuasive speech provides the audience with a clear understanding of a

concept or idea.
True False
2. An entertainment speech amuses the audience. The humorous speeches of
comedians and performers are the best examples of this type.
True False

3. An entertainment speech seeks to provide the audience with favorable or

acceptable ideas that can influence their own ideas and decisions.
True False
 4. The lectures of teachers are the best examples of informative
speech. True False

5. The campaign speeches of the running candidates for government posts are the
best examples of entertainment speech.
True False
18
As language users, we constantly move between speech communities and adjust
our language accordingly. Your ability to style-shift becomes more important, as you
are often judged on the appropriateness of your language choices.

The speech style that a communicator adopts depends on the listener, the
situation, and various factors. This way, we can let other people understand what
message we want to convey and what we think.

Do you think you are an effective speaker in family conversation and community
discussions?

20
According to Martin Joos, there are five speech styles. Each style dictates
what appropriate language or vocabulary should be used or observed which means
the form of language that the speaker uses is characterized by the degree of
formality.
TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES
1. Intimate – The type of speech style that is private and occurs between or among
close family members or individuals. It is also used for intrapersonal communication
or self- talk. The language used is least formal.
Examples: a couple planning about their future, family sharing opinions on a
certain issue, very close friends sharing secrets, etc.
2. Casual – The type of speech style most common among peers and friends in
which communication is informal. It is used in conversations among friends and
acquaintances who have something to share and have shared background
information but don’t have close relations. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular language
are used in this style.
EXAMPLES: phone calls with classmates, everyday conversation with friends,
videochats, etc.

3. Consultative – This style is the standard one. Professional or mutually acceptable

language is used in this style. This occurs in semi-formal communication in which
sentences tend to be shorter and spontaneous. The speaker in this style does not
usually plan what he/she wants to say, most operational among others.
EXAMPLES: regular classroom discussions, doctor-patient, communication
between teachers and students, employers and employees, judge and lawyer,
or President and his/her constituents.

4. Formal – This is the speech style used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative
style, this is one-way. The language used is straightforward thus, speakers avoid
using slang expressions and what the speaker says has been prepared beforehand.
EXAMPLES: announcements, welcome addresses, sermons by priests and
ministers, State of the Nation Address of the President, formal speeches, or
pronouncements by judges.

5. Frozen – This style is “frozen” in time and remains unchanged. It is the most
formal speech style that is usually used generally in a very formal setting, respectful
events, and ceremonies. Frozen speech does not require any feedback from the
audience.
EXAMPLE: Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer, and Allegiance to
country and flag, pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws, etc.

These speech styles are important in the speech-making process. It will help
you choose the appropriate approach and speech for specific events. Picking the
correct speech prevents misunderstanding and difficulties.
