What Is It
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.

1. Intrapersonal- It is when communication centers on one person such as

thinking, imagining, reflecting, etc. 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
asyou talk to yourself, you discard certain ideas and replace them with others.”
(Hybels & Weaver, 2012,p6)
Example: A student is thinking about how fulfilling it was to receive high scores and
a commendation from the teacher for an excellent project made.

2. Interpersonal
It is when communication occurs between and among people which
establishes relationships, and develops rapport among them. “This
highlights how interpersonal communication connects and links people
together. It becomes personal as people’s unique qualities matter.”
(Solomon and Theiss, 2013, p5)

Types of Interpersonal Context

4
 a. Dyad- communication involves two persons who are formally or informally
interacting with each other verbally and nonverbally.
Example: A student gives feedback on a speech performance by a
classmate.
b. Small Group- communication involves at least three to fifteen people who
are doing a face-to- face interaction when all participants share ideas freely
in a discussion.
Example: The class officers are discussing how to impose classroom rules.

3. Public
This type of communication requires a speaker to deliver or send
message in front of a group. “In public communication, unlike in
interpersonal and small group, the channels are more exaggerated and
in big crowd, hence speakers need to increase voice volume,
use gestures, and visual aids such as PowerPoint presentation to
emphasize information.” (Hybels & Weaver, 2012, p19)

Example: A Class Valedictorian delivers a graduation speech to his

batch during the graduation rites.

Form of Public Communication

a. Mass Communication – It is to communicate between an entity and a
large and diverse audience, mediated by some form of technology such
as television, radio, magazines, newspapers, books, internet and other
types of media.

Example: A journalist expressing his stand on current issues through a

radio program.

What Is It
Speech style refers to the distinctive way of communicating to
others such as the patterns of speaking which are
characterized by vocabulary, pronunciation, intent, participants
and grammatical structures.

Five Types of Speech Styles

1. Intimate – This style is private, which occurs between or among close
family members or individuals. The type of language used in this style may
not be shared publicly.
2. Casual –This style is common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, or
vernacular language are used. This style is usually seen in the streets,
during lunch time with friends and the like.
3. Consultative –The style of speech is a standard one where professional or
mutually acceptable language is a must. Examples of this are situations
between teachers and students, employers and employees, doctor and
patient, judge and lawyer, or president and his/her constituents.
4. Formal –This style is used in settings that adhere to formal procedures.
This speech style is one-way in nature. Examples of this are sermons by

9
 priests and pastors, state of the nation address of the president, formal
speeches or pronouncements by the judges.
5. Frozen – This style is ‘frozen’ in time and remains unchanged. It mostly
occurs in ceremonies. Common examples are the
Preamble of the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer and
Allegiance to the country or flag.

What’s New
Activity 3.1. What you KNOW about

Using your COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK, copy

the grid and provide what is being asked. List 5 famous product
taglines. Name the product and tell whether the tagline is

13
catchy, effective, meaningful, and truthful. Bear in mind that there are no wrong
answers. An example is given for you.

TAGLINES PRODUCT/ EFFECT/MEANING

Filipino”  Easy to remember

What Is It
Speech Act is an utterance that a speaker intends to affect his/her audience which
functions include apology, greeting, request, invitation, complaint, compliment, or
refusal. Speech acts have real-life interactions and require not only knowledge of the
language but also appropriate use of that language within a given culture.

Types of Speech Acts

According to the Speech Act Theory developer, J. L. Austin (1962), utterances
have three kinds of meaning, given the right circumstances or contexts which directly
affects what the speaker really means.
1. Locutionary act (what is said) is the actual act of uttering or
the literal meaning of the utterance. e.g. “Please pass your
project.”

2. Illocutionary act (What is meant)is the social function of

what is being said or the purpose of the person saying such
words. e.g. “Can you submit your project today?” the person is
requesting the listener to submit his/her project today.

3. Perlocutionary act (what is udnerstood) is the resulting act of what is said or the
hearer recognizes the intention of the speaker. e.g. “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 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.

14
 Performatives is 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”.

Searle’s Classification of Illocutionary Speech Act

As a response to Austin’s Speech Act Theory, John Searle (1976) a university
professor of California, Berkeley has five general classifications of speech act:
1. Assertive – this speech act grants the speaker to convey his/her view that the
proposal made is correct. The examples are suggesting, putting forward, swearing,
boasting and concluding.
Example: I make the best cake in town.

2. Directive – In this speech act, the speaker tries to make the addressee do what is
being asked. Some examples of these include asking, ordering, requesting, inviting,
advising and begging.
Example: Please come tomorrow morning for the meeting.

3. Commissive – this speech act compasses the speaker to make future actions, e.g.
promises and oaths.
Example: Starting today, I will never comment negatively about a post on Facebook.

4 Expressive – This speech act allows the speaker to express his feelings and
attitudes. These are words that express gratitude or thanks, congratulating,
apologizing, welcoming and deploring.
Example: I appreciate your effort in solving this problem.

5.Declaration - This speech act brings a change in the external situation. Some
examples of declarations are baptizing, firing, bidding, wedding and blessing.
Example: I now pronounce you husband and wife.

How did you find the new information you have

learned? These are important for you to successfully
do the tasks that follow.

Activity 3.2
After learning the unique characteristics of Searle’s
Classifications of Speech Act in the previous activity, you are now
ready to identify what illocutionary act is used in the following
utterances. Write the letter of your chosen utterance that
corresponds to the illocutionary acts below. Accomplish this activity
in your COMMUNICATION ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK.

A. Assertive B. Directive C. Commissive D. Expressive E. Declaration

1.I think I can do better than him.

2. Please pay attention.
3. I am sorry for not being able to help you in making our project.

15
 4. You are fired!
5. You are now husband and wife.
6. Welcome to my 18th Birthday party.
7. Make yourself comfortable.

8. Put your phone in a silent mode.

9. We find the defendant guilty.

10.From now on, I’ll be nice to him.

Great Job! Activity 3 was a test on how much you have learned about
illocutionary acts through sample utterances that are often used in common
situations. Do not lose the momentum. The next activity will be about
recounting common experiences among students. Enjoy!
What I Learned
Remember these key points:

 Speech Acts – an utterance that a speaker makes to attain

meaning in various circumstance and attain desired effect to the
listener: Perlocutionary, Locutionary, and Illocutionary is
classified as Assertive, Directive, Commissive, Expressive, Declaration
 Learning the types of speech acts will make us come to a realization that
words are powerful since it does not only give information or describe but it can also
be used to do things through an expression with corresponding meaning.
