Purposive Communication: Instructress: Lyn B. Ayop

The document discusses the different varieties and registers of spoken and written language, explaining that language varies based on social factors and the situation. It outlines four domains that reflect local usage and four domains that reflect global usage. The key point is that both everyday and academic communications are characterized by multi-modality and the use of multiple communication modes, with language varying between spoken and written forms depending on whether it is used in local or global contexts.

LESSON 4

LET’S ACHIEVE THESE!


• Determine culturally-appropriate terms, expressions, and
images (sensitivity to gender, race, class, etc.)
• Adopt cultural awareness and sensitivity in communication
of ideas
INTRODUCTION
• The spoken mode is often associated with everyday registers while the
written mode is strongly associated with academic registers. However,
this is not always true.
• For instance, in everyday communication, face-to face conversations are
usually supplemented by text messaging.
• In academic contexts, significant forms of oral communication are used
along with written communication.
• Significantly, both everyday and academic communications are
characterized by multi-modality or the use of multiple modes of
communication, including spoken, written words and images, music,
videos, gestures, etc.
LANGUAGE VARIETIES

Refer to the various forms of language triggered by social factors such


as: social situation, occupation, age, geography, education, gender,
social status, and ethnicity.
laNGUAGE REGISTERS
Used in different situations, which are identified by the degrees of
formality such as in formal we have speakers and in informal we have
the conversation between friends
According to Nordquist (2018), a register is defined as the way a
speaker uses language differently in different circumstances
Determined by factors as social occasion, context, purpose, and
audience
Determine the vocabulary, structure, and some grammar in one’s
writing and even in one’s oral discourse.
NATURE OF LANGUAGE VARIATION

Language varies when communicating with people within (local) and


outside (global) our community.
Language varies in speaking and in writing.
Language varies in everyday and specialized discourses
FOUR DOMAINS THAT REFLECT LOCAL USAGE

Local everyday written. This may include instances of local everyday


written usage found in the neighborhood posters (e.g. a poster looking
for a bed spacers).
Local everyday oral may occur in local communication among
neighbors in everyday, informal and local varieties of languages.
Local specialized written. Such as publications and websites of local
societies.
Local specialized oral involves specialized discourses. For example,
in a computer shop in the neighborhood.
FOUR DOMAINS THAT REFLECT
GLOBAL USAGE
• Global everyday written avoids local colloquialisms to make the text accessible
gto wider communities of readers. This can be found in international editions of
newspapers and magazines.
• Global everyday oral may occur in interactions between people coming from
different parts of the world when they talk about everyday casual topics.
• Global specialized written expands to as many readers internationally, hence
the non-usage of local colloquial expressions. (e.g. international research journal
articles)
• Global specialized oral occurs when people from different parts of the world
discuss specialized topics in spoken form. (e.g. paper presentation sessions in an
international academic conference).
FIRMING UP!
