 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

 Speech context refers to the situation in which communication occurs. There are four
types of speech context; intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication,
public speech context, and mass communication.

 Intrapersonal communication involves one participant. He/She is both the sender and
the receiver of the message in the communication process.

 Interpersonal communication is an interaction between two or more participants. These

are the two kinds of interpersonal communication; a dyad, which is composed of two
participants who take turns as the sender and the receiver in the interaction, and a small
group communication which is composed of three or more participants, or a group of
participants.

 Public Speech Context involves a single speaker and a sizable number of persons or an
audience.

 Mass Communication takes place on television, newspaper, internet and so on.

 REMEMBER

Speech context refers to the situation or environment in which communication occurs. Each
circumstance you encounter, you will need to equip yourself with a set of skills that will help you
communicate with others in different contexts.

The Four Types of Speech Context

1. Intrapersonal communication is when one participant is both the sender and the receiver
of the message in the communication process. You are simply communicating within yourself. Some
examples are memorizing, daydreaming, and mumbling.
2. Interpersonal communication is an interaction between two or more participants. It can
be direct (face-to-face encounter) or indirect (done through the use of a tool or technology such as
telephone or Internet)

The Two Kinds of Interpersonal Communication

 a dyad which is composed of two participants who take turns as the sender and the receiver in the
interaction like interviewing an applicant and talking to your mother about something.
 a small group communication which is composed of three or more participants, or a group of
participants like a company meeting and a group discussion.

3. Public Speech Context involves a single speaker and a sizable number of persons or an audience like
a seminar and a political campaign. The speaker has a definite or prescribed time limit, and both the
speaker and the audience maintain their roles throughout the speech event (the audience may, however,
convey nonverbal messages). Thus, the speaker needs to use and sustain appropriate verbal and nonverbal
cues to convey his/her message to the audience.
4. Mass Communication refers to communication that takes place on television, newspaper, internet and
so on like a TV journalist, a news writer and a blogger.
