The Nature of Speech

  • Speech communication is the process of sharing meanings through audible and visual codes such as voice, facial expression, gestures, movement, postures, and the like.

Speech Context

  • Speech context refers to the situation or environment and the circumstances in which communication occurs.

Intrapersonal vs Interpersonal Communication

  • Communication centers on one person where the speaker acts both as the sender and the receiver of the message.
  • INTRAPERSONAL communication: communication with oneself; reflection happens within the mind.
  • INTERPERSONAL communication: communication between and among people and establishes personal relationships between and among them.

Intrapersonal Communication

  • Definition: The message is made up of your thoughts and feelings.
  • Channel: The brain processes what you are thinking and feeling.
  • Feedback: As you talk to yourself, you discard certain ideas and replace them with others.
  • Subtopic: SELF TALK

Interpersonal Communication

  • When you engage in interpersonal communication, you and another person become linked together.
  • The personal part means that your unique qualities as a person matter during interpersonal communication.
