    Differences Between Spoken and Written Language

    Uploaded by

    Spoken and written language differ in their medium, resources, processing time, feedback, language and organization. Speech uses sound and ephemeral paralinguistic cues while writing relies on visual words and punctuation. Spoken language happens in real-time with feedback, but writing allows more time for planning, editing, and sophisticated structures.
