 Lesson
Types of Speeches and
1 Speech Style

In this lesson, you, as a learner, will experience the use of an appropriate

speech style in the different types of speeches. Here, you will encounter various
activities in both informal and formal communication.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, we have learned that communication has many

contexts. Speech context is described as a situation or environment and a
circumstance in which communication occurs. As we mention types of speech
context, we mean social relationships and social situations. In the different types
of speech contexts, we learned that we, as speakers can at the same be listeners.
We can also talk to someone, among small groups or big groups and even through
all types of media such as on television, radio, internet newspapers, or magazines.

Without a clear understanding of the types of speech context, it will be

difficult for us to connect and adapt to the kind of conversation, specifically, on the
manner of utterances and language forms that we will be using on various occasions
or situations.

Can you still remember the previous lesson without browsing your notes?
Let us try a simple recall activity to help you check your understanding. Work
independently.

Activity 1: Guess What
Directions: Read the clue and make your best guess. Fill in the squares with
letters to form words. Use the Across and Down columns as your guide.

11 Another example of mass media 7 It refers to social relationships and
communication social situations
9 Another term for a speaker

Here is the summary of the previous lesson:

Types of Speech Context

Intrapersonal - This refers to a communication within one person, where a speaker
acts both as a sender and a receiver of a message. This message is made up of a
speaker’s thoughts and feelings.
Interpersonal – This refers to a communication process that takes place between
one person with another (dyadic communication) or between and among one
person with a small number of people that ranges from 3 to 15 (small group
communication).
Public - This is a communication process which involves a larger number of
audience. A speaker delivers a message with a louder voice and expansive gestures
in front of a group.
Mass Communication- This is a process of communication that takes place
through types of media such as television, radio, newspaper, magazine, book,
internet, and many others.

12
 What’s New

Normally, communication involves a speaker and an audience. A speaker

delivers a message to either a single audience or more. Each context has different
strategies that a speaker can apply. The larger the audience; the higher the level of
formality. In the same way, the smaller the number of an audience; the closer the
intimacy and familiarity will occur.

Here, the activities will provide you a hint to gradually understand the topic.
There are two sets of pictures shown below. Follow the directions given in each of the
activities.

Activity 2: Match It Right

Directions: Look at the first set of pictures below. Choose which of the pictures will
match with the situations given.

Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3

a. A principal directing the teachers on the new normal protocols through

Google meet
b. A mayor ordering the residents to stay at home
c. A student sharing his exciting experience in joining a zoom meeting

What do you think is the purpose of the speaker in their conversation?

Picture 1:_______________________________

Picture 2:_______________________________

Picture 3:________________________________

Very Good! You have clearly noticed the intentions of the speakers.

13
Activity 3: Match Once More!
Directions: In this activity, match the second set of pictures with the appropriate
statements. Write the letters of your choice on blanks provided.

A. Good morning, As COVID-19

lockdown measures affect food
distribution in the Philippines, we,
the entrepreneurs should plan for
initiatives to mobilize food producers
1._________
and ensure a sure market for their
products.

B.Romeo, do you accept Dina as

your lawful wife?
2._________

C. Hello Amigo, What’s up? Long time

no see.

I’m ok, Jun.

3._________

D. Good Morning, Doc. I have a fever for

three days now.

4._________

E. Hello honey, how was your day?

Great. We got a lot done, Hon.
And yours?
5._________

From picture 1 to picture 5, can you identify who are the people having a
conversation? What have you observed with the utterances they have made?

In the first set of pictures, it shows that there are three purposes of the speaker
to his /her audience, such as to inform, to persuade and to entertain. They are
called the types of speeches, according to purpose.

In the second set of pictures, it shows different social relationships. As you

have noticed, the manner of speaking and in the use of language forms as seen in
the conversation varies depending on the kind of persons involved in the scenario.

In other words, the purpose of a speaker depends on the situation that he/she
is in.

14
 What is It

Before communication takes place, you, as a speaker has an aim in mind; a

purpose. The moment you talk, whether in an ordinary conversation or in a formal
occasion, you always have a reason. This happens when you intend to open a topic
to someone or some group of people as your audience.

There are three types of speech according to purpose. These are the
following:

1. Informative speech . This is also known as expository speech. When

you speak to inform, your aim is to provide the audience with information
about a topic, or to expand their knowledge about a topic with which they
are already familiar. In this type of speech, you can explain, demonstrate
or instruct the audience or listeners about your topic. In some formal
gatherings, for instance, presenting an accomplishment report or
informing the audience on procedure on how to do something, usually,
there is a visual presentation to support the speaker’s statements.

2. Persuasive Speech. When you speak to persuade, you aim to influence

the audience to accept the speaker’s position or stand on an issue, and
to urge the audience to take a particular action. As a speaker, you need
to know the reason why you persuade your audience. This speech style is
used in debates, political campaigns, or appeals for donations.

3. Entertainment Speech . When speaking to entertain, you aim to

amuse the audience and put them in a pleasant or interesting diversion.
This is done by using a light, funny, or witty anecdote. Usually, it is
delivered at social gatherings, like, dinner parties and events. While you
set the audience to relax, still, you should have to focus.

When you interact with others, you use a particular speech style. The type of
speech style you intend to use depends on the kind of a social context that is, the
social situation and the social relationship involved between or among the
participants. You speak differently and choose words carefully according to whom
you are talking to because it is said that, language choice reveals information about
the social relationship between or among people.

15
 According to a Dutch linguist, Martin Joos (1976) as mentioned by Balgos &
Sipacio (2016), Speech Style means the form of language that the speaker uses
which is characterized by the degree of formality.

There are five types of speech style: intimate, casual, consultative, formal,
and frozen.

Types of Characteristics
Speech
Style

Intimate This style is private, which is used by a very close relationship

such as between husband and wife, parents and children,
between siblings, and boyfriend and girlfriend. In this style, the
participants share a completely private vocabulary. Since the
participants have an intimate relationship, and they often know
each other’s intention, there is no need for a clear articulation of
words. This uses words of endearment like, “darling,” “honey,”
“babe” etc. and a high incidence of non-verbal communication.

Casual This speech style is conversational in tone and has a free

and easy participation. The languages used among and between
friends or peers who share common interests are general, jargon,
slang, and colloquial. Informal contractions are used (e.g., “ain’t,”
“dunno,” “gonna”,”dude”,”nope”). Interruptions are common.
Nicknames are used. (Balgos & Sipacio 2016. p.35)

Consultative This style is used in semi-formal communication in a two-way

participation. The sentences tend to be shorter and
spontaneous. This is considered as the most operational
style among the other styles where a speaker needs to provide
background information because the listener (or addressee) may
not be able to understand without it. In turn, the listener
participates continuously by giving feedback like, “I see”, “Uh-
huh”, “Ah “, “okay” to signal that he or she is paying attention
to the speaker, or has understood what was said. Thus, both the
speaker and the listener are active participants.

In this style, the speaker uses formal words and expressions like
Formal complete sentences and technical or academic vocabulary. In
other words, this does not allow omissions and contractions. It
is a one-way speaking to medium, or large groups. Since there is
little or no feedback from the listeners or audience, the speaker
needs to plan his or her utterances, or what he or she is going to
say. This speech style is evident in conferences, inaugurations.

16
 The speaker uses language in fixed and static expressions that
Frozen are rarely or never changed. This is the most formal style and is
reserved for very formal situations such as in ceremonies,
religious services, state affairs, and court proceedings. It uses
prescribed and highly formal language, such as in official, or
historical documents and literary texts e.g. the Preamble to the
Constitution, Lord’s Prayer, Allegiance to country or flag.

What’s More

In order to grasp an understanding on the types of speeches according to

purpose, try to answer the activity below.

Activity 4: Know Me
Directions: Identify the types of speech according to purpose in the following ways

Option 3: Read the excerpt of President Roa Duterte’s speech on COVID19 below.

We are not happy to put you in this place but after review maybe we can.
But just let me tell you today that of those who are of late infection or those
arriving in the country, we have a spike of about 5,000. Secretary --- 500 rather,
I’m sorry, 500 lang. And Secretary Duque will expound more on that. The rest of
the country will be placed under modified general community quarantine. Again,
the rest of the country will be placed under modified general community
quarantine. That is very clear now. In other areas, it will be again on a piecemeal
basis depending on the viability of the place to meet the challenges of COVID.
From time to time --- from time to time Secretary Roque would give us the places
where there will be changes.

The opening of the airports. I have asked Secretary Tugade and he will have
his time later to explain what are his plans. We would like to know sabay-sabay
tayo. Then dito sa assistance ng OFW. We are coordinating with every government
agency to help them and sana po hindi na ito maulit. Iyong --- there was this
stranded Filipinos not knowing where to go and when. And we decided
immediately that they’d be returned to their home provinces. Nangyari po ito halos
sa kanila nakauwi na. But we are expecting the 300,000 something that Secretary
Bello has communicated to us and that would be also a problem again. But this
time, we should know what to do. It’s a matter of calibrating every arrival and
maybe sending immediately if possible the overseas workers coming in first.
Unless of course they are detained because of they are sick of COVID. When I
mean sick, sick talagang kailangan ng ospital.
