4. Types of Speech Context

5. Intrapersonal
• – This refers to communication that centers on
one person where the speaker acts both as the
sender and the receiver of message. “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.” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p
16)

6. Examples:
• •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.
• •You felt happy while thinking about how your
teacher appreciated you for submitting your
project before the due date and you reflected
on why this was so.

7. Interpersonal
• – This refers to communication between and among
people and establishes personal relationship between and
among them. Solomon and Theiss (2013) state that “the
inter part of the word highlights how interpersonal
communication connects people… when you engage in
interpersonal communication, you and another person
become linked together… The personal part means that
your unique qualities as a person matter during
interpersonal communication…”

8. Types ofInterpersonalContext
• Dyad Communication – communication that
occurs between two people
• Example:
• You offered feedback on the speech
performance of your classmate.
• You provided comfort to a friend who was
feeling down.

9. Small Group
• – This refers to communication that involves at
least three but not more than twelve people
engaging in a face-to-face interaction to
achieve a desired goal.
• In this type of communication, all participants
can freely share ideas in a loose and open
discussion.

10. Examples:
• You are participating in an organizational
meeting which aims to address the concerns of
your fellow students.
• You are having a discussion with your group
mates on how to finish the assigned tasks.

11. Public
• – This type refers to communication that requires you
to deliver or send the message before or in front of a
group. The message can be driven by informational or
persuasive purposes. “In public communication, unlike
in interpersonal and small group, the channels are more
exaggerated.
• The voice is louder and the gestures are more
expansive because the audience is bigger. The speaker
might use additional visual channels such as slides or a
Power Point presentation.” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p
19)

12. Examples:
• You deliver a graduation speech to your batch.
• You participate in a declamation, oratorical, or
debate contest watched by a number of people.

13. Mass Communication
• – This refers to communication that takes
place through television, radio, newspapers,
magazines, books, billboards, internet, and
other types of media.

14. Example:
• You are a student journalist articulating your
stand on current issues through the school’s
newspaper.

15. Types of Speech Style
• The context dictates and affects the way people
communicate, which results in various speech
styles. According to Joos (1968), there are five
speech styles. These are (1) intimate, (2) casual,
(3) consultative, (4) formal, and (5) frozen. Each
style dictates what appropriate language or
vocabulary should be used or observed.

16. 1. 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.

17. 2. Casual
• – This style is common among peers and
friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular
language are used.

18. 3. Consultative
• – This style is the standard one. Professional or
mutually acceptable language is a must in this
style.
• Examples of situations are communication
between teachers and students, employers and
employees, doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer, or President and his/her constituents.

19. 4. Formal
• – This style is used in formal settings. Unlike
the consultative style, this is one-way.
• Examples are sermons by priests and
ministers, State of the Nation Address of the
President, formal speeches, or pronouncements
by judges.

20. 5. 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.
