Study Notes
Communicative Strategies
- Nomination: Used to initiate a conversation or introduce a topic. Common uses include asking questions, offering compliments, or seeking opinions.
- Restriction: Refers to limitations speakers face, confining responses within certain parameters. This might be imposed by instructions, categories, or prior knowledge/experience.
- Turn-Taking: The process by which speakers decide who speaks next, ensuring a balanced exchange. This often includes allowing others a chance to respond.
- Topic Control: A strategy to maintain focus on a specific topic, preventing interruptions or shifts to unrelated subjects. Usually involves managing the conversation using relevant questions.
- Topic Shifting: The process of changing conversation topics smoothly. Examples include transitional phrases like "Before I forget..." or "Now, let's talk about...".
- Repair: Used to address issues in communication, such as misunderstandings, errors, or omissions. Repairing involves attempts to correct, repeat, or clarify.
- Termination: Used to signal the end of a conversation. This could be done by expressions like "It's nice catching up with you, I must be going."
Effective Speech Delivery
- Audience Profile: Understanding the audience (their demographics, knowledge level, interests) to craft a relevant speech. Questions include: who are they, how many are present, what do they know, why are they interested?
- Logical Organization: The proper structure (introduction, body, conclusion) for a speech to help the audience follow along. Different structuring methods include problem-solution, topical, chronological, spatial, etc.
- Speech Structure: The introduction should attract attention and preview main ideas, the body presents the key arguments and examples, and the conclusion summarizes and leaves a strong lasting impression.
- Duration: Managing speech length and allocating appropriate time to each section.
- Word Choice: The selection of appropriate and audience-friendly words to avoid confusion and maintain engagement. Technical jargon should be avoided if possible.
- Grammatical Correctness: Clear and correct grammar is crucial. Errors decrease comprehension and are distracting.
- Various Types of Speeches: There are multiple ways of structuring speeches. Different formats include expository (informational), persuasive (convincing), entertainment (amusing), manuscript (read from a script), memorized, impromptu, and extemporaneous (prepared but not read word-for-word).
