Nature of Communication
Communication is interactive.
Communication is symbolic.
Communication is a process.
According to Sipacio, P. F., & Balgos, A. G. (2016), there are nine elements of communication. These are the
following:
Speaker – the source of information or message
Message – the information, ideas, or thoughts conveyed by the speaker in words (verbal) or in actions (nonverbal).
Encoding – the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the speaker understands
Channel – the medium or the means, such as personal or non-personal, verbal or nonverbal,
in which the encoded message is conveyed
Decoding – the process of interpreting the encoded message of the speaker by the receiver
Receiver – the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message
Feedback – the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver
Context – the environment where communication takes place
Barrier – the factors that affect the flow of communication
3
TOPIC 3: FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION
According to Maestro (2019), there are five major functions of communication. These are:
Regulation or Control - control the behavior of the receiver
Social Interaction- used to form bonds or connections with others
Emotional Expression- ability to facilitate people’s expression of their feelings or emotions
Motivation- works either when you want to encourage or motivate others
Information dissemination- gain or share information.

Read the phone call conversation below and answer the following questions:
Elena: Good morning! This is Elena from RLD Inc.
Mrs. Lim: Hey, Elena. This is Mrs. Gabrielle Lim from Your Cake. What can I do for you?
Elena: We would like to order chocolate cakes today. Can you make 13 (line goes static because of the bad
weather) cakes and deliver these at 8 pm today?
Mrs. Lim: Sure. Let me confirm the order. 30 cakes for RLD Inc.?
Elena: No. Only 13. One.. (line goes static again)
Mrs. Lim: One chocolate cake? Sorry Mrs. Lim but your line is cutting in and out because of the weather
condition.
Elena: I NEED 13 CAKES. 13! One…Three…
Mrs. Lim: Okay. I got it. 13 cakes for RLD Inc. at 8 pm today. Did I get it correctly?
Elena: Yes. Thank you!

Answers Key
1. Answers may vary.
2. The first two elements present in the conversation are the sender and receiver. Elena is the sender, who intended to convey
a message to Mrs. Lim, the receiver in the discourse. The third element is the message itself that Elena wants to convey,
that she is in need of chocolate cakes to be delivered at 8pm. In order to transmit this message to Mrs. Lim, the fourth
element comes in, the encoding. Elena converted the message into words and conveyed it through a phone call. The phone
call is considered as the channel (non-personal in this case), the sixth element present in the conversation. Mrs. Lim
receives the message with a difficulty, as the line goes static due to the bad weather. The static line is considered as the
barrier, the seventh element, that interfered with Elena's message and affected the flow of their communication. The eight
element is the decoding. Mrs. Lim, the recipient, interprets the message after overcoming the barrier, and confirms the
order to ensure that she got the correct information. The context in the conversation is Elena ordering cakes from Your
Cake through a phone call.
3. Elena generates an idea in her mind that she needs 13 cakes to be delivered at 8pm. She then transforms this thought into
verbal speech, converting it into words. After that, she conveys her message to Mrs. Lim through a phone call. Mrs. Lim
receives the message with a difficulty, as the line goes static due to bad weather. Because of this, she misheard the number
of cakes that Elena wants to order. As they recover from the interference with the messages, Mrs. Lim finally gets the
correct information. She confirms the order by repeating it to ensure that she fully understood Elena and from there, the
phone conversation ended.

Lasswell’s Model
As stated by Drew (2020), Lasswell’s Communication Model tries to explain why communication happens, what is the
motive behind creating the communication, and a critique of the message delivered. Lasswell’s model makes you
ponder the significance of the Communicator. Who is s/he? Then, what Message is s/he trying to convey? Next, it
makes you question if the kind of Medium used by the Communicator plays an important role. Lastly, it makes you
wonder who the Receiver is and what is the Effect of the Message.

Shannon-Weaver Model
As you can see in the picture by Mathias (1970), this model is comprised of five main elements, drawn from the nine
elements of communication. These are: sender, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver.
INTERACTIVE MODELS
9
Interactive Models only means that communication doesn’t have a clear ‘label’ of who is the speaker and who is the
receiver. Think of it as two or more people in an overlapping conversation.
Osgood-Schramm Model
Our first model is the Osgood-Schramm Model, as illustrated by Elkins, A., Derrick, D., Burgoon, J., & Jr, J., (2018).
Unlike the Linear Models, Interactive Models, are two-way communication processes. However, as you recall, it is an
impersonal communication process.
An impersonal communication process has no clear ‘label’ of who is the speaker and who is the receiver. It is like two
or more people in an overlapping conversation.
In the Osgood-Schramm Model, there are two main points presented:
First, both the speaker and the receiver can be the Encoder and the Decoder at the same time
Second, this particular type of communication requires immediate feedback (e.g. – brainstorming ideas in a meeting)
TRANSACTIONAL MODELS
10
The last category contains the Transactional Models. These models show the perfect world of communication, where
there is a speaker and a receiver and all the other elements of communication are working together in harmony. There
is always feedback as the speaker and receiver switch roles, and no one is left feeling unrequited. It is the ideal
relationship.
Finally, in our last category, Transactional Models, we find the following communication models:
Public cues, which are environmental cues, such as finding a cozy spot to talk
Private cues which are a person’s personal thoughts and background, such as taking cultural differences into account
when speaking to someone from another country.

Altering or removing any of these factors can become barriers to the communication process, making successful
communication either difficult or even impossible. For us to become effective communicators, we must first
recognize these barriers, so we can find ways to avoid them and increase the likelihood of always being understood
by our audience.
First off, we have our emotional barrier. Obviously, this has to do with our emotions so let’s look at that aspect of it
first.

Oral Communication in Context (p.8). Quezon, Philippines: C&E Publishing Inc.
Discussion 2
Now that we’ve identified the different barriers that cause ineffective
communication, let’s take a look at what effective communication is and learn
how to conquer those barriers. Effective communication is more than just
exchanging information and about understanding the emotions behind the
information. It combines a set of skills including non-verbal communication,
the capacity to recognize and understand one’s emotions and communication
with other people.
Effective communication is the glue that helps deepen connection to
others and improve teamwork, decision-making and problem solving. It enables
16
one to communicate even negative or difficult messages without creating
conflict or destroying trust.
And so in 2012, Professors Broom Cutlip and Center listed the 7 C’s of
Effective Communication which is widely used today in public relations and
advertising and these are as follows:
COMPLETENESS - This is necessary if you want your audience to receive everything they need
to know about your topic/subject matter and/or if you need them to do exactly as you tell
them.
CONCISENESS - doesn’t mean you have to rush everything so you can finish early. It means you
remove unnecessary words or details while you are narrating or passing information.
CONSIDERATION - this is why you need to know your audience before speaking. Conduct an
audience analysis, know the demographic background and the mood of your audience.
CONCRETENESS - you have to know your facts, give real-life examples or give figures or
numbers from reputable sources to back up your claims.
COURTESY - always be respectful and polite to your audience. This is why you have to do a
sort of background check of your audience ahead of time.
CLEARNESS - this is when you use specific words to express ideas. You should focus on a single
objective so your audience doesn’t get confused.
CORRECTNESS - edit your message before you present it. Make sure there are no grammatical
errors or typos.

According to Sipacio, P. J. F., & Balgos, A. R. G. (2016), there are five (5) functions of
communication.
These are: (1) Regulation or Control, (2) Social Interaction, (3) Information Dissemination, (4)
Emotional Expression, and (5) Motivation.

3. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION
o Communication functions to convey information.
o The dissemination of information has always been a part of our lives. We do it every day when we share
a post on social media or talk to our friends about what’s happening at home. When we invent things
such as recipes or a new appliance or a better way of mixing concrete, and then we share these inventions
with the world via the Internet or a radio interview or a book we’ve published.
o In our modern world, it seems the methods and opportunities for disseminating information are virtually
endless – and we’re always coming up with new, faster, and more efficient ways of doing it. Imagine
how a simple USB flash drive is able to hold more information than an entire room full of computers
could only a little over 50 years ago.
1. TO INFORM
o The first general purpose that some people have when giving speeches is to inform.
o Simply put, this is about helping audience members acquire information that they do not already possess.
o Audience members can then use this information to understand something (e.g., speech on a new technology,
speech on a new virus) or to perform a new task or improve their skills (e.g., how to swing a golf club, how
to assemble a layer cake).
o The most important characteristic of informative topics is that the goal is to gain knowledge not to
encourage.
Why we share knowledge?
Knowledge sharing is the process of delivering information, skills, or expertise in some form to people
who could benefit from it.
o People are motivated to share their knowledge with other people for a variety of reasons (Hendriks, 1999).
For some, the personal sense of achievement or of responsibility drives them to share their knowledge
(internal motivational factors). Others are driven to share knowledge because of the desire for recognition
or the possibility of job enhancement (external motivational factors).
o O’Hair, Stewart, and Rubenstein identified six general types of informative speech topics (O’Hair, et al.,
2007):
1. Objects 4. Concepts
2. People 5. Processes
3. Events 6. Issues
2. TO PERSUADE
22
o When we speak to persuade, we attempt to get listeners to embrace a point of view or to adopt a
behavior that they would not have done otherwise. A persuasive speech can be distinguished from
an informative speech by the fact that it includes a call for action for the audience to make some
change in their behavior or thinking.
Why We Persuade
o The reasons behind persuasive speech fall into two main categories, which we will call “pure
persuasion” and “manipulative persuasion.”
I. VERBAL COMMUNICATION
o It refers to an interaction in which words are used to relay a message.
o For effective and successful verbal communication, use words to express ideas which can be easily
understood by the person you are talking to.
Types of Verbal Communication
1. Oral Communication
2. Written Communication
a. Eyebrows and forehead also add significant signals, from surprise to fear to anger.
b. The mouth, when not talking can be pursed, downturned or turned up in a smile.
23
2. Artifacts
o Artifacts are physical objects, such as clothing, homes, and cars, that indicate to others a person's personal
and social beliefs and habits (DeVito, 2005).
o Clothing can communicate many ideas, including social class, attitudes (conservative, liberal, moderate),
style and creativity, and age.
o For example, a professor is more likely to take seriously a student who dresses conservatively and
appropriately for class than a student who constantly lounges in sweats and an old t-shirt.
3. Proxemics
o The use of space in communication.
o Edward T. Hall came up with a system of how we use space in a social context basically showing what a
cultures comfort level of space is for different types of communication.
For example: Invading one’s personal space is seen as aggressive, either intimately or violently, and
presents a whole different dynamic to the communication.
4. Chronemics
o use of time while communicating
o Imagine you are going to a job interview, who set up the interview time? What does it say if the interviewer
is late? If you are late, it might suggest that the job is not as important to you as it should be, or that the
time of the interview is outside of your normal operating schedule.
5. Vocalics/ Paralanguage
o It refers to vocal language that is separate from actual language. This includes factors such as tone of voice,
loudness, inflection, and pitch.
Example: Saying “I’m fine with a cold tone and happy tone.”
6. Haptics
o It refers to ways in which people communicate and interact via sense of touch
Example: Parent’s touch might mean security and protection, love, and comfort.
Here is a table that summarizes both verbal and nonverbal cues.
24
SIX TYPES OF ORAL COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
There are six broad types of oral communication activities:
1. One-on-one Speaking
• Can range from moments punctuating a lecture, where students are asked to discuss or explain some
question or problem with a person next to them.
2. Small Group or Team-Based Oral Work
• Smaller-scale settings for discussion, deliberation, and problem solving.
3. Full Class Discussions
• Argument-based and competitive than debate but still dialogic in character. Often creates an
atmosphere of collective, out-loud thinking about some question, idea, problem, text, etc.
4. In-class Debates and Deliberations
• A structured consideration of issue from two or more points of view. Both feature reason- giving
argument. Can be applied to issues of many kinds from disputed scientific facts to theories, etc.
5. Speeches and Presentations
• Classically, the stand-up, podium speech delivered by an individual from an outline or script. Also
includes group presentations and impromptu speaking. A strong element of monologue.
6. Oral Examinations
• Range from one oral question on an otherwise written exam to an oral defense of a written
answer/paper.

looked at me and said “Son, I want you to be a better man”. That night, when I drove home, my dad was
waiting for me at home.
Now, my dad is a cool dad. Raise your hand if you have a cool dad. Put them all together you get my
dad. My dad came up to me and said “Son, it’s OK. You flunked your exams. You already got arrested.
That’s fine. You get that from your mother side. I want you to start working immediately”. And I said,
‘OK.’
So, my dad took me to meet one of his friends called Sam. Now, Sam was an accountant who had an
accounting firm and had generously decided to make me his personal assistant, and there he was. He looked
like a teddy bear, but this man was special. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then he said the most
amazing thing. He said “Son, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you decide to work
with me, I can help you find that something”. And I was like, wow! that’s the first time in my whole life
somebody has ever told they see something in me. And I started working for Sam.
And every day after work he used to tell me stories about the world, about history, about culture,
about philosophy and it was much more interesting than what I learned in school. And I discovered I can
dream, and I started dreaming, ladies and gentlemen. After one year I went back into high school, completed
my exams, and went into college.
After successfully completing college, I found a great girl, but not a job. I didn’t know what I wanted to do
with my life. Have you ever had that problem? And when you’re lost, it’s difficult to feel special. So, I
went back to my cool dad and I said “Dad, I feel lost”.
He said, “You are like your mother.”
So, my dad introduced me to this strange club that had a strange name, with strange people, talking.
On the first meeting they told me to do something called a table topic. I aced it. But while I was speaking,
I see a strange man seated in the back row, humble, simple, the unfailing quality of kindness in his eyes.
As soon as I finished, he walked up to me, looked me dead straight in the eye and said, “Son, I see something
in you, but I don’t know what it is. If you come here twice a month maybe, we can find that something.”
And ladies and gentlemen, I discovered I could speak, and I love speaking and that led me to become
a teacher. I know what it’s like to not have enough money in your bank account. I know what it’s like to
worry when the bills start coming in. And sometimes in the middle of the night, I wake up my beautiful
wife and ask her “Honey, why did you marry me?” She says, “I saw something in you, but I still I don’t
know what it is.” Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m a dreamer, I’m a speaker and I learned the unfailing
quality of unconditional love from my wife. I was broken and I’ve been broken, lost and broke many times
in my life, but the people in my life were able to reach into the trash can and make me whole again. If it
was up to me, I would have never been able to do that. And this is why if you have great people in your
life, no matter how broke, how lost or how broken you become they can piece you back together. Ladies
and gentlemen, when I look at you, I see something in you, but I don’t know what it is? Over to you.

Directions: Read the full transcript of the speech “The Girl Who Silenced the World for Five Minutes”
by Severn
Cullis- Suzuki. After that, write a 250- word essay of your objective observation and evaluation of the
speaker. You
may use a separate sheet of paper for your answers. Rubrics will be utilized.

SEVERN CULLIS- SUZUKI: THE GIRL WHO SILENCED THE WORLD
(FULL TRANSCRIPT)
Severn Cullis-Suzuki started the Environmental Children’s Organization (ECO) when she was
only 9 years old. ECO was a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other
kids about environmental issues. In 1992 they raised their own money and attended the UN’s Earth
Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A then 12-year-old Severn closed a Plenary Session with this amazing
speech that received a standing ovation. She received a lot of praise for her talk then—even Al
Gore called it “the best speech at Rio.”
“Hello, I am Severn Suzuki speaking for E.C.O – the Environmental Children’s Organization. We
are a group of 12- and 13-year-olds trying to make a difference, Vanessa Suttie, Morgan Geisler,
Michelle Quigg and me. We’ve raised all the money to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles
to tell you adults you must change your ways. Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda. I
am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election, or a few points on the
stock market.” “I am here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak on behalf of the
starving children around the world whose cries go unheard. I am here to speak for the countless
animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go. I am afraid to go out in the
sun now, because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don’t know
what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my dad until, just a
few years ago, we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear of animals and plants going
extinct every day, vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild
animals, jungles, and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even
exist for my children to see.”
“Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age? All this is happening before our
eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time, we want and all the solutions. I’m only a child and
I don’t have all the solutions, but I want you to realize, neither do you. You don’t know how to fix
the holes in our ozone layer. You don’t know how to bring the salmon back up a dead stream. You
don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct. And you can’t bring back the forest that
once grew where there is now a desert. If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.”
“Here you may be delegates of your governments, businesspeople, organizers, reporters or
politicians. But, really, you’re mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles and all
of you are someone’s child. I’m only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family, 5 billion
strong, in fact 30 million species strong. And borders and governments will never change that. I’m
only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one
single goal.”
“In my anger, I am not blind, and, in my fear, I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In
my country we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy, and throw away, buy and throw
away and yet Northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than
enough, we are afraid to share, we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. In Canada, we live
the privileged life. We’ve plenty of food, water, and shelter. We have watches, bicycles,
computers, and television sets. The list could go on for 2 days. Two days ago, here in Brazil, we
were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets. This is what one child
told us, ‘I wish I were rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes,
medicines, shelter and love and affection’. If a child on the street who has nothing is willing to
share, why are we who have everything still so greedy? I can’t stop thinking that these are children
my own age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born. And that I could be one
of those children living in the favelas of Rio. I could be a child starving in Somalia, or a victim of
war in the Middle East or a beggar in India. I am only a child, yet I know if all the money spent
on war was spent on finding environmental answers ending poverty and in finding treaties, what
a wonderful place this earth would be.”
“At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us to not to
fight with others, to work things out, to respect others and to clean up our mess, not to hurt other
creatures, to share, not be greedy. Then, why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to
32
do? Do not forget why you are attending these conferences, who you are doing this for. We are
your own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in. Parents should
be able to comfort their children by saying ‘Everything is going to be all right, it’s not the end of
the world, and we are doing the best we can’. But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore.
Are we even on your list of priorities? My dad always says, ‘You are what you do, not what you
say’. Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grown-ups say you love us. But I challenge
you, please, make your actions reflect your words. Thank you.”

According to Oxford Dictionary (2020), Speech is the ability to express thoughts and feelings. Meanwhile context
is the circumstances that form the setting of an idea. Combining these two key terms, we have speech context. So, speech
context is defined as the situation or environment where communication occurs; and every day, in every conversation or
discussion we have, there is always a speech context.
Four types of speech context:
1. Intrapersonal Communication 3. Public Communication
2. Interpersonal Communication 4. Mass Communication

TOPIC 2: TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE
According to Martin Joos (1976), a linguist and German professor, a speech style is a form of
language that the speaker utilized which is characterized by the level of formality. Furthermore, he identified
the five basic types of speech styles and these are the following:
1. Frozen Style – also known as fixed speech. It is the highest form of communicative style which is often
used in respectful situations or formal ceremonies. It uses the complex grammatical sentence structure and
vocabulary that are only known by experts in that field.
Examples: 1. Pledges
2. Laws
3. Marriage Ceremonies
4. Anthems
2. Formal Style – this type uses formal words and expressions and is mostly seen in writing rather than
speaking. It also disallows the use of ellipsis, contractions, and qualifying modal adverbials.
Examples: 1. Meetings 4. Corporate Meeting
2. Speeches 5. Interview
3. Court Trials
4. Casual Style – this style is used in informal situations and language relationship between speaker and
listener is closed. Often relaxed and focused on just getting the information out.
Examples:
1. Casual conversation with friends and /or family members.
2. Chatting
3. Phone calls and messages
5. Intimate Style – uses personal language codes within family, very close friends or group of people.

Communication happens effectively when the message is passed clearly; it becomes useful and meaningful
when both the sender and the receiver understand the idea being put across. Indeed, there could be no valid reasons to
ignore the need for communicating successfully.
Moreover, to achieve effective communication, it is essential to know the different types of speech act. A speech
act is an utterance that a speaker makes to achieve an intended effect.
Speech acts are performed when a person offers an apology, greeting, request, complaint, invitation compliment,
or refusal. Speech act is an act of communication.
As we communicate with others, we use language without minding whether to use complete sentence or not. The
number of words in a single utterance does not matter so long as we can get our message across.
1. Locutionary act is the actual act of uttering or saying something. This act happens with the utterances of a sound, a
word or even a phrase as a natural unit of speech.
For the utterances to be a Locutionary Act, consider the following:
• It has sense, and mostly importantly, for communication to take place.
• It has the same meaning to both the speaker and the listener.
• Utterances give rise to shared meaning when it is adjusted by the speaker for the listener.
48
2. Illocutionary act is the social function of what is said. In an illocutionary speech act, it is not just saying something
itself but with the act of saying something with the intention of:
• stating an opinion, conforming, or denying something;
• making a prediction, a promise, a request
• issuing an order or a decision; or
• giving advice or permission.
This Speech Act uses the Illocutionary Force of a statement, a confirmation, a denial, a prediction, a promise, a request,
etc.
3. Perlocutionary act refers to the consequent effect of what was said. This is based on the particular context in which
the speech act was mentioned. This is seen when a particular effect is sought from either the speaker or the listener, or
both. The response may not necessarily be physical or verbal and is elicited by:
• inspiring or insulting
• persuading/convincing; or
• deterring/scaring
The aim of Perlocutionary Speech Act is to change feelings, thoughts, or actions.
o Getting married
o Appointing someone to a professional/social position
o Placing bets
o Offering and making promises
o Congratulating someone
o Giving warnings
o Apologizing
o Threatening
o Saying thank you
o Giving orders or command
49
Performatives come either Implicitly or Explicitly:
o Implicit
The utterance, “I’ll see you later,” is an example of an Implicit performative because the speaker does not
specifically indicate his/her intentions. This means that you must assume the speaker’s intention, based on his/her
tone of voice and your relationship together.
o Explicit
If the speaker adds more information, saying, “I promise, I’ll see you later,” or, “I’m warning you, I’ll see you
later,” then it’s usually pretty clear what the speaker is trying to do. This is an Explicit performative, as there is a
performative verb inserted into the statement. Performative verbs are verbs that perform an action.
o Example – Accept, declare, command, announce, answer, excuse, fire, forbid, hire, grant, etc.
TYPES OF PERFROMATIVES
Directives
Directives are performed when you issue a demand or a request.
Example – “Hey, will you tell me where our final exam is?” You’re requesting for the listener to answer your
question.
Example – When you demand your listener to carry out the action you desire, such as, “Leave town
immediately!” or “I order you to leave town immediately!”
Commissive
Commissive occurs when you commit yourself to a future course of action.
Example – When you say, “I will repay the kindness you have shown me,” or, “I promise to repay the money
I borrowed.” In both of these instances, you are making a commitment to pay the debt that you owe.
Example – When you say, “I swear to tell the truth,” you’re making a commitment to be honest when you
speak.
As a response to Austin’s Speech Act Theory, John Searle (1976), a professor from the University of California,
Berkeley, classified illocutionary acts into five distinct categories.
1. Assertive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses belief about the truth of a proposition. Some
examples of an assertive act are suggesting, putting forward, swearing, boasting and concluding.
Example:
No one can love you better than I do.
2. Directive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker tries to make the addressee perform an action. Some
examples of a directive act are asking, ordering, requesting, inviting, advising, and begging.
Example:
Please maintain the cleanliness of our school.
3. Commissive – a type of illocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing something in the future. Examples of
a commissive act are promising, planning, vowing, and betting.
Example:
From this moment on, I will love you and honor you for the rest of my life.
50
4. Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker expresses his/her feelings or emotional reactions.
Some examples of an expressive act are thanking, apologizing, welcoming and deploring.
Example:
Thank heavens, you came to save me! I owe you my life.
5. Declaration– a type of illocutionary act which brings a change in the external situation. Simply put, declarations
bring into existence or cause the state of affairs which they refer to. Some examples of declarations are blessing,
firing, baptizing, bidding, passing a sentence, and excommunicating.
Example:
You are hired!
By saying that someone is hired, an employee causes or brings about the person’s acceptance to job; consequently,
this changes his external situation
