SPEECH CONTEXT
Speech context is the way that people use to communicate and transmit
message orally or verbally in a particular situation. People must understand the
environmental context so that they can connect with their audience and
effectively deliver their speeches. The following are the different speech contexts:
1. Intrapersonal
It is when communication centers on one individual, for example,
thinking, imagining, reflecting, and so on over various situations. The
speaker plays the roles of both the sender and the speaker of a
message. “This message is made up of your thoughts and feelings.
There is feedback in the sense that as you talk to yourself, you
discard certain ideas and replace them with others.” (Hybels & Weaver,
2012)

What’s New
1. Locutionary act is the actual act of uttering or the literal meaning of the
utterance.
Example. “Please pass your project.”
2. Illocutionary act is the social function of what is being said or the purpose of the
person saying such words.
Example. “Can you submit your project today?” The person is requesting the
listener to submit his/her project today.
3. Perlocutionary act is the resulting act of what is said or the hearer
recognizes the intention of the speaker.
Example. “Can you submit your project today?” The listener gets the point,
therefore he/she would submit his/her project on that day.
Indirect speech acts- these are speech acts which function does not have a
direct relationship with what the speaker actually means in his/her statement.
Please consider this utterance:
“The door is still open! ” Implied speech act: Are you capable to close the door? -
Here, the speaker literally questioned somebody if he or she has the ability to
close the door. This indirectly requests the addressee to close the door in
behalf of the speaker.
Performatives - a special type of speech act which statements with verbs to
execute the speech act that intend to affect. Performative speech acts only “work”
when said by the authoritative person, for instance: in a wedding the priest would
say “I now pronounce you man and wife” and the organization’s president shall
say to end up a meeting “The meeting is adjourned.
How did you find the new information you have learned?
These are important for you to successfully do the tasks that
