LESSON 11:

LEARNING THE
TYPES OF SPEECH
CONTEXT
REPORTED BY: 3 IDIOTS
 INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
● First type of speech context
● Communicating with oneself
● The Speaker and the Listener are one and the same
● ex.
Berating oneself
Talking to mirror
Memorizing outloud a dialogue
Writes on post-it notes to remind oneself
 INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
● Interpersonal communication is the process by which people
exchange information, feelings, and meaning through verbal
and non-verbal messages: it is face-to-face communication.
● Involves more than one person.
● Can be differentiated by its purpose.
 A. DYADIC COMMUNICATION
● Involves only two participants forming the DYAD.
● The roles of Speaker and Listener are not fixed.
● Conversation is Informal Dyadic Communication.
● Interview and Dialogue are Formal Dyadic Communication.
● ex.
Heart- to-heart talks
Guidance Counseling
Consulting with a Priest
 B. SMALL GROUP COMMUNICATION
● Requires from 3 to 15 people to study an issue.
● A gathering of people with goal in mind but to pass the time.
The group has an agenda and a leader.
● Has a Solution or a Plan.
● Divided into two purpose: study group and task oriented group.
◦Study Groups are meant to look into a problem but not
necessarily come up with a solution.
◦Task Oriented Groups that study an issue such as the perennial
traffic problem of Metro Manila.
 C. PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

● One Speaker addresses many Listeners, collectively known as

an Audience.
● Many pulic communication events are formal. The speech is
well prepared, the Speaker is dressed appropriately.
● There is a program.
● Sometimes it’s Informal.
 D. MASS COMMUNICATION

● Is any of the above human verbal interactions carried out

with the aid of mass media technology.
● Mass Media used to mean only radio and TV, which reached
more people with the use of their technical system.
● Social Media is now included.
 E. ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATION
● There are two variations: formal organizational
communication and the informal version
◦Formal Organizational Communication uses the proper
channels graphically illustrated by an organizational chart.
◦The Informal Version by passes the links, keeps forwards or
backwards just to achieve the same goal.
● Both types of organizational communication are necessary
for the organization to survive.
 F. INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

● is the exchange of concepts, traditions, values, and practices

between and among people of different Nationalities and waste
of life.
 All communication, whatever the Speech Context, has to
have a purpose. Each context that one may be enganged in is
according to what best suits the Purpose and how best to
accomplish it, but the Context s are not mutually exclusive.
Before Public Communication can take place, the Speaker
subjects himself/herself to Intrapersonal Communication by
thinking, writing, and talking oneself. Small Group
Communication by something that came up in a Dyadic
Communication, and so on. Given the Context and Purpose,
Communication Strategies are also based on different types of
Speech Styles.
