    Speech is human vocal communication using language. Each language uses different combinations of vowel and consonant sounds to form words that sound different even if they mean the same thing in another language. In speaking, people perform different speech acts like informing, asking, and persuading, and can vary loudness, tempo, and other aspects to convey meaning. Researchers study many aspects of speech production, perception, repetition, errors, and the brain areas involved, like Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Speech is studied by fields like linguistics, psychology, communication studies and computer science.

    Speech is human vocal communication using language.

    Each language
    uses phoneticcombinations of vowel and consonant sounds that form the sound of its words
    (that is, all English words sound different from all French words, even if they are the same word,
    e.g., "role" or "hotel"), and using those words in their semantic character as words in
    the lexicon of a language according to the syntacticconstraints that govern lexical words'
    function in a sentence. In speaking, speakers perform many different intentional speech acts,
    e.g., informing, declaring, asking, persuading, directing, and can use enunciation, intonation,
    degrees of loudness, tempo, and other non-representational or paralinguisticaspects of
    vocalization to convey meaning. In their speech speakers also unintentionally communicate
    many aspects of their social position such as sex, age, place of origin (through accent), physical
    states (alertness and sleepiness, vigor or weakness, health or illness), psychic states (emotions or
    moods), physico-psychic states (sobriety or drunkenness, normal consciousness
    and trance states), education or experience, and the like.
    Although people ordinarily use speech in dealing with other persons (or animals), when
    people swear they do not always mean to communicate anything to anyone, and sometimes in
    expressing urgent emotions or desires they use speech as a quasi-magical cause, as when they
    encourage a player in a game to do or warn them not to do something. There are also many
    situations in which people engage in solitary speech. People talk to themselvessometimes in
    acts that are a development of what some psychologists (e.g., Lev Vygotsky) have maintained is
    the use in thinking of silent speech in an interior monologue to vivify and organize cognition,
    sometimes in the momentary adoption of a dual persona as self addressing self as though
    addressing another person. Solo speech can be used to memorize or to test one's memorization
    of things, and in prayer or in meditation (e.g., the use of a mantra).
    Researchers study many different aspects of speech: speech production and speech
    perception of the sounds used in a language, speech repetition, speech errors, the ability to
    map heard spoken words onto the vocalizations needed to recreate them, which plays a key role
    in children's enlargement of their vocabulary, and what different areas of the human brain,
    such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area, underlie speech. Speech is the subject of study
    forlinguistics, cognitive science, communication studies, psychology, computer
    science, speech pathology, otolaryngology, and acoustics. Speech compares with written
    language,[1] which may differ in its vocabulary, syntax, and phonetics from the spoken
    language, a situation called diglossia.
