This document defines and provides examples of different contexts and styles of speech. It discusses intrapersonal communication which occurs within one's own thoughts. Interpersonal communication occurs between two or more individuals and can include dyads, small groups, public speaking, and mass communication through media. The document also outlines five speech styles: intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and frozen.

1. TYPES OF
SPEECH CONTEXT

2. Intrapersonal
•This refers to communication that centers on one person
where the speaker acts both as the sender and the
receiver of message. “The message is made up of your
thoughts and feelings.The channel is your brain, which
processes what you are thinking and feeling.There is
feedback in the sense that as you talk to yourself, you
discard certain ideas and replace them with others.”
(Hybels &Weaver, 2012, p 16)

3. Intrapersonal
•You spent the night thinking and analyzing why a
student from the other class talked to you on the way
home and you decided it probably meant nothing.
•You felt happy while thinking about how your teacher
appreciated you for submitting your project before the
due date and you reflected on why this was so.

4. Interpersonal
•This refers to communication between and among
people and establishes personal relationship between
and among them.

address the concerns of your fellow students.

finish the assigned tasks.

3. Public–This type refers to communication that requires you
to deliver or send the message before or in front of a group.The
message can be driven by informational or persuasive purposes.
“In public communication, unlike in interpersonal and small
group, the channels are more exaggerated.The voice is louder
and the gestures are more expansive because the audience is
bigger. (Hybels &Weaver, 2012, p 19)
Example:
• You deliver a graduation speech to your batch.
• You participate in a declamation, oratorical, or debate contest
watched by a number of people.
