Step 1 Audience & purpose
Step 1 These affect the way in which something is spoken and perhaps prepared for.
Step 1 Context
Step 1 The social situation, including audience and purpose, in which language is used; this situation is an important influence on the language choices made by speakers and writers.
Step 2 Adjacency pairs
Pattern of speech in which one utterance is followed by an appropriate linked response. • Typical ones: • A question followed by an answer • A greeting followed by an appropriate response • A statement followed by a statement of agreement/ disagreement • A command followed by obedience or disobedience Step 2
Step 2 Chaining
Step 2 The linking of a series of adjacency pairs to build up a conversation.
Step 2 Interruption
Step 2 When a speaker begins to talk before the previous speaker has finished, in an attempt to take over the conversation and gain control.
Step 2 Overlap
Step 2 When a speaker begins to talk before the previous speaker has finished, perhaps because of their enthusiasm to join in the discussion or to show support for the speaker. An overlap is generally more cooperative and supportive, and less competitive, than an interruption.
Step 2 Turn-taking
The pattern of spontaneous interactive speech in which participants cooperate or compete for the roles of listener/ speaker. • CONSIDER: • Who dominates the turn- taking • How speakers get a turn and gain control of the conversation • Who does not get a turn and why • How speakers prevent others from taking a turn • How speakers indicate that their turn is finished and they are ready to pass the turn onto another speaker • What happens when speakers deliberately flout the expectations we have about turn- taking. Step 2
Step 2 Repair
A self-correction in spontaneous speech. You may pick up signals from your audience that what you are saying is too difficult for them to understand or too boring, and so change or shorten what you are saying. You may realise that what you are about to say may cause offence, and so adapt and amend your language. You may suddenly think of a better or more interesting way to express yourself and so go back and ‘cross out’ what you have started to say. Step 2
Step 2 Side sequence
Step 2 A sequence of utterances inserted into a conversation, which causes the main topic of the conversation to be temporarily suspended.
Step 3 Phatic utterance
Step 3 Words spoken to establish social contact and express friendly intentions towards another person, rather than to convey significant information ‘Nice day today’
Step 3 Monosyllabic words
Step 3 Words with only 1 syllable
Step 3 Polysyllabic words
Step 3 Words with more than 1 syllable
Dialect Step 3
A variety of a particular language characterised by distinctive features of accent, grammar and vocabulary. Used by people from a particular geographical area or social group. Indicative of a group Step 3
Step 3 Hedge
Step 3 A word/ phrase such as ‘maybe’, ‘perhaps’, or ‘sort of,’ used to soften the impact of what’s said or to make a speech sound more polite.
Step 4 Accent
Step 4 The characteristic pronunciation, features and speech rhythms of a speaker, usually related to regional or social influences. Individual
Step 4 Elision
Step 4 The running together of words or the omission of parts of words- ‘gonna’ for going to or ‘y’know’ for you know
Step 4 Ellipsis
The omission of part of a sentence. ‘Hope you get well soon’ is an example as the personal pronoun, ‘I’ has been left out. Can also be represented by ... to indicate the missing part of the sentence. Step 4
Step 5 Fillers
Step 5 Sounds such as ‘erm’ and ‘um’ and ‘er’ which speakers use to fill pauses in speech. Some speakers also use expressions such as ‘y’know’ and ‘like’ as verbal fillers.
Step 5 Micropause
Step 5 An even shorter pause in a spoken text.
Step 5 Pause
Step 5 A short break in a spoken text, recorded in seconds.
Step 5 Paralinguistic features
Step 5 Non-verbal aspects of communication such as intonation/ pausing, which work alongside language to help a speaker convey meaning effectively.
