This document discusses different contexts and styles of speech communication. It defines four contexts: intrapersonal communication which occurs within one's own mind; interpersonal communication between two or more individuals which can include dyadic or small group interactions; public communication which requires delivering a message to a larger audience; and mass communication through various media platforms. It also outlines five speech styles - intimate, casual, consultative, formal, and frozen - which vary based on the formality of language and audience. The document provides examples for each context and style to illustrate their meanings.

as you talk to yourself, you discard certain ideas and replace them with others.”
