GLOSSARY
Extemporaneous Speech/
Speaking
extemporaneously

Impromptu Speech

When you speak extemporaneously you are literally making up the words of your speech as you go. That does not mean that you do no
preparation. Rather, as you rehearse, you work from an outline or speaker notes that remind you of the progression of ideas in your
speech. http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_public_speaking_2/24/6223/1593285.cw/index.html
An impromptu speech is given with little or no preparation, usually about a topic that the speaker knows so well.

Intercultural
Communication

is the sending and receiving of messages across languages and cultures. It is also a negotiated understanding of meaning in human
experiences across social systems and societies (Arent, 2009). (Arent, Russell. Bridging the Cross-Cultural Gap Listening and
Speaking Tasks for Developing Fluency in English: Michigan ELT, 2009)
is a form of global communication. It is used to describe the wide range of communication problems that naturally appear within an
organization made up of individuals from different religious, social, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. ...

Memorized Speech/
Presenting from memory

Unless you have had training and practice memorizing long passages of text, the memorized mode is the hardest to pull off. Freed from a
manuscript or notes, you are likely to have the added anxiety of forgetting what you wanted to say.
o A memorized speech can also sound "canned" and lacking in spontaneity. After many months of campaigning, a politician's talk
will become a memorized talk.
o Some speakers are extremely skillful at memorizing. Others, who have presented the same ideas a number of times, will
memorize their lines whether they intended to or not. Each time they speak on that or a similar topic, they can draw from
memory. This is true for many preachers and teachers.

Process of communication

According to Niklas Luhmann, communication is the operation, which (re-)produces social systems, it is the central last element (specific
operation) for the definition and the retention of society. A change of communicative possibilities by a new medium also changes society.
Communication is a synthesis of three components: message, information and understanding: communication comes into being, when
its understood that an information is imparted.
In the social dimension these components are ascribed to at least two abstracted person. Person a (= ego), who understands, and
person b (= alter), who imparts. The imparted information can't be identical to the understood information.A process of
communication comes into being, if the preceding communication is followed by a succeeding communication. By these communicative
connections constitutes meaning to every process of communication, by selecting one certain connection to all possible connections.
Communication needs a spreading medium like speech and writing.

Reading from a
According to communication expert Terrence Doyle, reading from a manuscript is the most formal type of delivery. It is also an effective
manuscript/
choice when you want to have the greatest control of the wording of your speech.
Speaking from a
o You will probably use a manuscript when speaking on a highly sensitive topic for which it is important to have precise wording.

that you speak the phrases just as you wrote them.
Often, however, reading your speech will rob the presentation of spontaneity and the conversational dynamics that effective
speakers strive to achieve.
To compensate for that, you will need to practice your reading to give it the feeling of being spoken for the first time. Skillful
manuscript readers will also make spontaneous changes in their speech at the moment of delivery.

In linguistics and the philosophy of language, It is an utterance that has performative function in language and communication .

an utterance considered as an action, particularly with regard to its intention, purpose, or effect.

It is an utterance that serves a function in communication. We perform speech acts when we offer an apology, greeting, request,
complaint, invitation, compliment, or refusal. A speech act might contain just one word, as in "Sorry!" to perform an apology, or
several words or sentences: "Im sorry I forgot your birthday. I just let it slip my mind." Speech acts include real-life
interactions and require not only knowledge of the language but also appropriate use of that language within a given culture.

Speech Act

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/speech-act

http://www.carla.umn.edu/speechacts/definition.html

It is what a speaker does in uttering a sentence. According to Austin (1962), when uttering a sentence, a speaker is involved in
three different speech acts: a locutionary act, an illocutionary act and a perlocutionary act. The locutionary act is the act of
uttering a sentence with a certain meaning. The speaker also may intend to constitute a certain act of praise, criticism, threat etc.,
which is called the illocutionary act .... The perlocutionary act is the act of trying to bring about a certain change in the
addressee (e.g. making him/her believe something).... http://www2.let.uu.nl/uil-ots/lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Speech+act
