Meaning and Definition of Speech

Definition of speech

A speech can be one of several things, but the use of this term is always associated with any verbal or linguistic transmission.
For the Linguistics and social sciences, speech is a form of transposition both written as verbal language and is used to refer to the construction of a message from a partner, shape, style or particular characteristics of the speech of an individual and the notion of verbal communication of different type. At the same time, to other social sciences, speech is a communication of different event. Even for some thinkers such as Michel Foucault, the concept of speech refers to a system of ideas or thinking: the speech of an individual is a sociohistorical context, with their personal characteristics, with its social and geographical membership, etc. In this way, they tend to associate the concepts of "speech" and "narrative", in reference to all cultural or ideological content of an individual or even a group of persons or a particular ideology. In general, supporters of a particular idea or a set of doctrines in a temporal context used concepts or kindred phrases that end up encouraging a "liberal discourse", "Marxist speech" or "contemporary discourse", among other examples.
However, the most common way of referring to a speech is on the oral and verbal act of targeting a particular audience to convey a message. In this sense, it is a coherent system of sentences that refer to the same topic. At a Conference, for example, the speech is the Parliament that a person uses to introduce a topic, to convey their perspective on a problem or question, to perform a balance or to call the controversy. A speech can be more or less informal, shorter or longer, may be mainly oral or use other technological resources, can have a political background or simply occur in a labor celebration or even family as a wedding. However, in all cases and since the origins of this social practice, the purpose of a speech has always been the of communicating and/or expose a viewpoint looking for persuading the partners thereof.
Given the complexity and variety of this notion, the speech is the subject of study of different disciplines like linguistics. The analysis of the discourse is in fact a discipline that goes through different sciences such as anthropology, sociology, philosophy and psychology that aims to investigate the causes, effects and context of production of speech in order to interpret it and assigning meaning to a speech individually or a set of speeches. In this context, it has joined this series of disciplines to advertising, which is a system appropriate to define the characteristics of a speech and, especially, arrival at certain public.
One of the most researched speeches types is that takes place in the political sphere: analysis of the messages transmitted by political candidates in campaign or in the exercise of his management is broad and rich, and includes specifics such as grammar, Phonetics, rhetoric, argumentation, the narration, the syntax and semantics. Some great speakers have served as a model for the creation of speeches at very later times. In this way, subjects that are able to deliver a speech of great content and arrival, while other politicians prefer to have the text in written form, to ensure an orderly transmission of the message chosen for their potential recipients so based only a written, are recognized.
