B. Presenting the New Lesson


This lesson introduces you to the world of public speaking. Take a step to enhance oral
communication skills by learning the types of speeches you can use in creating meaningful tasks.

Speech
It is human nature to express thoughts and emotions. Thus, many speeches or forms of
communication in spoken language, made by a speaker before an audience, have been created.
Speeches are more formal than talking or usual conversations. They are primarily delivered to leave
a remarkable message.

Types of Speech According to Purpose


1. Informative or Expository Speech
= is mainly performed for the purpose of educating the audience on new or relevant piece
of information on a particular topic.
Example: lecture of a teacher
2. Persuasive Speech
= is given solely for the purpose of convincing the audience to agree with the speaker’s
opinion on a particular topic.
Example: speech of a lawyer
3. Entertainment Speech
= aims to share laughter and enjoyment to the audience through witty and humorous lines.
Example: speech of a comedian

Types of Speech According to Delivery


1. Manuscript Speech
= is the word-for-word iteration of a written message using visual aids.
Example: news anchor with a teleprompter
2. Memorized Speech
= is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker has committed to memory.
Example: actor’s dialogue
3. Extemporaneous Speech
= is the presentation of a carefully planned and rehearsed speech, spoken in a
conversational manner using brief notes.
Example: a campaign speech before a voting public
4. Impromptu Speech
= is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation and is for people
knowledgeable about the subject.

3
Example: a doctor’s response to the question of a patient
Speech Style
The way we communicate varies depending on a lot of factors such as the speech context,
speech purpose, and speech delivery. The form of language that the speaker uses which
characterized by the degree of formality is known as speech style (Martin Joos, 1976:156).

Types of Speech Style


1. Intimate
= is used for very close relationships.
Example: couple
Note: Language used in this style may not be shared in public.
2. Casual
= is an informal communication between groups and peers who have something to share and
have shared background information but do not have close relations.
Example: classmates
Note: Jargon, slang, and vernacular language are used
3. Consultative
= is used in semi-formal and standard communication.
Example: teacher and student
Note: Professional or mutually acceptable language is a must in this style.
4. Formal
= is a one-way straightforward speech.
Example: State of the Nation Address
Note: What the speaker says is something that has been prepared beforehand.

B. Presenting the New Lesson


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. To
achieve effective communication, it is essential to know the different types of speech act which are
the focus of this lesson. Hence, this will help you distinguish the important role of speech act in
achieving communicative competence by responding appropriately to various utterances for you to
efficiently communicate with the world.
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.

Three Types of Speech Act


According to J. L. Austin (1962), a philosopher of language and the developer of the Speech
Act Theory, there are three types of acts in every utterance, given the right circumstances or context.
These are:

By uttering the locution “Please do the dishes”


“Please do the dishes,” the would lead to the
“Please do the dishes.” speaker requests the addressee washing the
addressee to wash the dishes.
dishes.

Locutionary Illocutionary Perlocutionary


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.

9
Examples of Locutionary Acts:
• “Wow?” (When someone is amazed)
• “Hello!” (greeting someone)
• “Get out!” (a strong command)
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.

Examples of Illocutionary Acts:


• It’s more fun in the Philippines. (opinion)
• I’ll help you clean the house tomorrow. (promise)
• Get my things in the office. (order)
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.

Examples of Perlocutionary Acts:


• “We can do this. We heal and win as one!” (inspiring)
• “It is crucial that we give all our collective efforts to fight against this pandemic. We must
start working together.” (persuading)
• “Smoking destroys your health, certain as it brings diseases, it kills – you, your loved ones,
and others!” (deterring)

Searle’s Classification of Speech Act


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.

10
3. Commissive – a type of illocutionary act which commits the speaker to doing something in the
future. Examples of 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.
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.)
