D. Abstraction: Proper Discussion

A. Types of Speech Context
1. Intrapersonal- a type of communication that centers on one person
where the speakers acts both as the sender and the receiver.
 The message is made up of your thoughts and feelings.
 The channel is your brain which processes what you are thinking
and feeling.
 There is feedback in the sense that as you talk to yourself, you
discard certain ideas and replace them with others.
Example:
 1. 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.
2. You felt happy while thinking about how your teacher appreciated
you for submitting your project before due date and you reflected
on why this was so.
2.Interpersonal
 A type of communication between and among people and
establishes personal relationship.
 According to Solomon and Theiss, 2013:

“inter”- highlights how interpersonal communication connects

people

“personal”- unique qualities as a person matter during the

interpersonal communication.
Types of Interpersonal Context
a) Dyad Communication - occurs between two people
Example:
1. You offered feedback on speech performance of your classmate.
2. You provided comfort to a friend who was feeling down.
b) Small Group
 Involves at least three but not less than twelve people engaging
in a face to face interaction to achieve desired goal.
 All participants can freely share their ideas in a loose and open
discussion.
Example:
1. You are participating in an organizational meeting which aims to
address the concerns of your students.
2. You are having a discussion with your group mates on how to finish
the assigned task.
3.Public
 Requires to deliver the message in front of the group.
 Message can be driven by information or persuasive purposes.
  The channel are exaggerated, voice is louder and gestures are expansive due
to bigger audience. Power can be used
Example:
1. You deliver a graduation speech to your batch.
2. You participate in a declamation, oratorical contest or debate watched
by many people.
4.Mass Communication
 Communication that takes place through television, radio, newspapers,
magazines, books, billboards, internet and other types of media.
Example:
1. You are a student journalist articulating your stand on current issues
through the school newspaper.
Types of Speech Styles
Speech Styles
 The content dictates and affects the way people communicate, which
results in various speech styles.
 According to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles. These are
intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and frozen.
 Each style dictates what appropriate language or vocabulary should be
used or observed.
Intimate
 This style is private, which occurs between or among close family
members or individuals.
 The language used in this style may not be shared in public.
Casual
 This style is common among peers and friends
 Jargon, slang, or vernacular language are used.
Consultative
 This style is the standard one.
 Professional or mutually acceptable language is a must in this style
  Examples of this situations are communication between teachers and
students, employers and employees, doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer or President.
Formal
 This style is used in formal settings.
 Unlike the consultative style, this is one way.
 Examples are sermons of priests and ministers, State of the Nation Address
of the President.
Frozen

 This style is “frozen”in time and remains unchanged.

 It mostly occurs in ceremonies.

 Common examples are the Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer, and
Allegiance to country or flag.
