II. THREE TYPES OF SPEECH ACT

There are three types of speech acts in every utterance, given the right circumstances or context.

1. LOCUTIONARY ACT is the actual act of uttering or speaking.

“Please do the dishes.”
2. ILLOCUTIONARY ACT is the social function of what is said by uttering the Locution. “Please do the dishes.” The
speaker requests the listener to wash the dishes.
3. PERLOCUTIONARY ACT is the resulting act or action of what is said. This effect is based on the particular context in
which the speech act was mentioned.

III. Types of Speech Context

INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION This refers to the communication process that operates within the communicator.
This ranges from simple thinking, meditating, reflecting, or talking to oneself.

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION This is a transactional process of exchanging a message. This is between people.
This usually but not always, occurs a face to face. Dyadic and Small group communication belong to this type.

Interpersonal Dyadic This is the basic form of speech communication. This involves two parties at least one of them has
a serious purpose. Both of them speak and listen alternately as the conversation goes on. Examples of this form are the
conversations between two friends and an interview between an applicant for a job and a personal manager.
Interpersonal Small Group This is a systematic sharing of ideas among three to eight persons in order to reach a
decision, to find solutions to problems or to obtain information. In a democratic country like the Philippines, group
discussions are very important.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATION This is a communication situation where a speaker delivers a message before an audience.

MASS COMMUNICATION This refers to communication that takes place through, television, radio, newspapers,
magazines, books, billboards, internet, and other types of media.

IV. TYPES OF SPEECH STYLE

1. FROZEN STYLE 3. CONSULTATIVE STYLE

Used generally in very formal setting.
Most formal communicative style for respectful
situation. Does not require any feedback from the
audience. Usually uses long sentences with good
grammar and vocabulary. The use of language is fixed
and relatively static
Examples:
national pledge, anthem, school creeds,
marriage ceremonies, speech for a state ceremony
2. FORMAL STYLE
Used in speaking to medium to large groups. May also
be used in single hearers- strangers, older persons,
professional. Speaker must frame whole sentences
ahead before they are delivered. Avoids using slang
terminologies. Language is comparatively rigid and has a
set, agreed upon vocabulary that is well documented; is
often of a standard variety.
Examples:
meetings, speeches, school lessons, court, a corporate
meeting, at a swearing in ceremony, in an interview or
in a classroom

way participation. Most operational among other styles

Sentences end to be shorter and spontaneous.
Examples:
regular conversation at schools, companies, group
discussion, teacher-student, doctor-patient, expert-
apprentice
4. CASUAL STYLE
Language used between friends. Often very relaxed and
focused on just getting the information out Slangs are
quite often used in these instances. This style is used in
informal situations and language. Relationship between
speaker and hearer is closed.
Examples:
casual conversations with friends, family members,
chats, phone calls and messages
5. INTIMATE STYLE
Completely private language used within family of very
close friends or group. Uses personal language codes
Grammar is unnecessary. Does not need complete
language. Certain terms of endearment, slangs or
expressions whose meaning is shared with a small
subset of persons to person
