TYPES OF SPEECHES
EXPLORE

SPEECH
It is human nature to express thoughts
and emotions. Thus, many speeches or
forms of communication in spoken
language, made by a speaker before an
audience, have been created. Speeches
are more formal than talking or usual
conversations. They are primarily
delivered to leave a remarkable
message.
 TYPES OF SPEECHES
EXPLORE In the word puzzle below are seven (7) words that refer to jobs
that commonly deliver speeches. Try to look for them as fast as
you can to lead you to the types of speeches.

SPEECH STYLE
The way we communicate varies
depending on many factors, such as
the speech context, speech
purpose, and speech delivery. The
form of language that the speaker
uses characterized by the degree of
formality is speech style (Martin
Joos, 1976:156).

EXPLAIN

You may have noticed that the

forms of language you use in
talking to different people in
different situations change in the
degree of formality. This is
because of speech style. There
are five (5) types of speech
style.
 

EXPLAIN

A speech style, according to

Martin Joos (1976), a linguist
and German professor, it refers
to the form of language that the
speaker utilized which is
characterized by the level of
formality.
 

EXPLAIN Still according to Jooz, speech

style is identified into five types:

1. INTIMATE
2. CASUAL
3. CONSULTATIVE
4. FORMAL
5. FROZEN
 

EXPLAIN

2. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES

INTIMATE
• is used for very close relationships
• note: Language used in this style may not be
shared in public.
EXAMPLE:
• Couple talking about their future plans,
• family sharing ideas,
• very close friends sharing secrets, etc.
 

EXPLAIN

2. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES

CASUAL
• is an informal communication between groups
and peers who have something to share and have
shared background information but do not have
close relations.
EXAMPLE:
• phone calls, everyday conversation with
friends, chats, etc.
 

EXPLAIN

2. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES

CONSULTATIVE
• is used in semi-formal and standard
communication
• note: Professional or mutually acceptable
language is a must in this style.
EXAMPLE:
• regular classroom discussions, doctor-patient,
etc.
 

EXPLAIN
2. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES
FORMAL
• Formal speeches are straightforward speeches. In
this speech style, the speaker avoids using slang
terminologies, what the speaker says is
something that has been prepared beforehand, its
complex sentence and noun phrases are well
structured, logically sequenced and strongly
coherent.
EXAMPLE:
• Announcements, SONA, welcome addresses,
etc.
 

EXPLAIN
2. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLES
FROZEN
• is the most formal communicative style that is
usually used during solemn ceremonies and
events.
• is used generally in a very formal setting, does
not require any feedback from the audience,
most formal communicative style for
respectful situations.
EXAMPLE:
• Pledges, anthems, marriage ceremonies, laws, etc.

Types of Speech Act Responding Effectively and
Appropriately to Speech Act
• Communication happens effectively when
the message is passed clearly; it becomes
useful and meaningful when both the sender
and the receiver understand the idea being
put across. Indeed, there could be no valid
reasons to ignore the need for
communicating successfully.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
“I am hungry.”
• expresses
hunger
• requests for
something
to eat
SPEECH ACT
• A speech act is an utterance that a speaker
makes to achieve an intended effect.
• Speech acts are performed when a person
offers an apology, greeting, request,
complaint, invitation compliment, or refusal.
• Speech act is an act of communication.
SPEECH ACT
• As we communicate with others,
we use language without minding
whether to use complete sentences
or not. The number of words in a
single utterance does not matter so
long as we can get our message
across.
 Here are some examples of speech acts
we use or hear every day:
• Greeting: "Hi, Eric. How are things
going?"
• Request: "Could you pass me the mashed
potatoes, please?"
• Complaint: "I’ve already been waiting
three weeks for the computer, and I was
told it would be delivered within a week."
 Here are some examples of speech acts
we use or hear every day:
• Invitation: "We’re having some people
over Saturday evening and wanted to
know if you’d like to join us."
• Compliment: "Hey, I really like your tie!"
• Refusal: "Oh, I’d love to see that movie
with you but this Friday just isn’t going to
work."
SPEECH ACTS
• In many ways, the
circumstances are the
ones that determine
the interpretation of
the Speech Act…
THREE TYPES OF SPEECH ACT
• According to J. L. Austin
(1962), a philosopher of
language and the developer
of the Speech Act Theory,
there are three types of acts
in every utterance, given the
right circumstances or
context. These are:
THREE TYPES OF SPEECH ACT
• Locutionary act
• Illocutionary act
• Perlocutionary act
THREE TYPES OF SPEECH ACT
By uttering the locution “Please do the
“Please do the “Please do the dishes,” dishes” would lead
the speaker requests to the addressee
dishes.” the addressee to wash washing the dishes
the dishes.

Locutionary Act Illocutionary Act Perlocutionary

Act
LOCUTIONARY ACT
1. Locutionary act is the
actual act of uttering or
saying something. This act
happens with the utterances
of a sound, a word or even a
phrase as a natural unit of
speech.
For the utterances to be a Locutionary Act,
consider the following:
• It has sense, and mostly importantly,
for communication to take place.
• It has the same meaning to both the
speaker and the listener.
• Utterances give rise to shared
meaning when it is adjusted by the
speaker for the listener.
Examples of Locutionary Acts:
• “Doh!” (favorite expression of
TV cartoon character Homer
Simpson)
• “Wow?” (When someone is
amazed)
• “Hello!” (greeting someone)
• “Get out!” (a strong command)
ILLOCUTIONARY ACT

• Illocutionary act is
the social function
of what is said.
In an illocutionary speech act, it is not just
saying something itself but with the act of
saying something with the intention of:
• stating an opinion, conforming, or
denying something;
• making a prediction, a promise, a
request;
• issuing an order or a decision; or
• giving advice or permission.
ILLOCUTIONARY ACT
• This Speech Act uses the
Illocutionary Force of a
statement, a confirmation,
a denial, a prediction, a
promise, a request, etc.
Examples of Illocutionary Acts:
• It’s more fun in the
Philippines. (opinion)
• I’ll help you clean the house
tomorrow. (promise)
• Get my things in the office.
(order)
PERLOCUTIONARY ACT
3. Perlocutionary act refers
to the consequent effect of
what was said. This is based
on the particular context in
which the speech act was
mentioned.
This is seen when a particular effect is sought from either
the speaker or the listener, or both. The response may not
necessarily be physical or verbal and is elicited by:
• inspiring or insulting
• persuading/convincing; or
• deterring/scaring
The aim of Perlocutionary Speech Act is
to change feelings, thoughts, or actions
Examples of Perlocutionary Acts:
• “We can do this. We heal and win as
one!” (inspiring)
• “It is crucial that we give all our
collective efforts to fight against this
pandemic. We must start working
together.” (persuading)
• “Smoking destroys your health, certain
as it brings diseases, it kills – you,
your loved ones, and others!”
(deterring)
 For example
• "Don't go into the water" (locutionary act)
• Counts as warning to the listener not to go into the water
(illocutionary act).
• If the listener heeds the warning the speech-act has been
successful in persuading the listener not to go into the
water (a perlocutionary act).
• Locutionary act: “Please do the dishes.”
• Illocutionary act: By uttering the locution “Please
do the dishes,” the speaker requests the addressee
to wash the dishes.
• Perlocutionary act: “Please do the dishes” would
lead to the addressee washing the dishes.
“It is rain outside!”

The Theory of Speech Acts
 Searle’s Classifications of
Speech Act
• As a response to Austin’s
Speech Act Theory, John
Searle (1976), a professor
from the University of
California, Berkeley, classified
illocutionary acts into five
distinct categories.
 Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
1. ASSERTIVE –a type of illocutionary act intended to tell you
how things are in the world. They are representations of
reality. The speaker expresses belief about the truth of a
proposition. Assertives refer to statements, descriptions,
classifications, explanations, and clarifications, suggesting,
putting forward, swearing, boasting, and concluding.
Example:
• No one makes better pancakes than I do.
• I am a great singer.
• The earth is flat (I hereby affirm that…)
• Rodrigo Duterte is the president of the Philippines.
 Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
2. DIRECTIVE – a type of illocutionary act in which the
speaker tries to make the addressee perform an action.
Some examples of a directive act are asking, ordering,
requesting, inviting, advising, and begging.
Example: • Could you lend me a pen,
• Please close the door. please?
• You'd better tidy up that mess. • Don't touch that
• Give a cup of coffee. Make it • Sit down.
black
 Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
3. COMMISSIVE – a type of illocutionary act which commits the
speaker to doing something in the future. Examples of a
commissive act are promising, planning, vowing, and
betting.
Example:
• From now on, I will participate in our group activity.
• I am going to leave you.
• I'll call you tonight.
 Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
• Expressive – a type of illocutionary act in which the speaker
expresses his/her feelings or emotional reactions. Some
examples of an expressive act are thanking, apologizing,
welcoming, and deploring.
Example:
• I am so sorry for not helping out in our group projects and
letting you do all the work.
• This juice is disgusting.
• Thank you for a great day.
• Well done, Elisabeth!
 Searle’s Classifications of Speech Act
• DECLARATION – a type of illocutionary act which
brings a change in the external situation. Simply put,
declarations bring into existence or cause the state of
affairs which they refer to. Some examples of
declarations are blessing, firing, baptizing, bidding,
passing a sentence, and excommunicating.
 DECLARATION
Example:
Employer: You are fired!
By saying that someone is fired, an employer causes or brings about
the person’s unemployment, thus changing his external situation.
Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife
Referee: You're out
Jury Foreman: We find the defendant guilty
Employee: I resign.
