    Spoken Vs Written P

    Uploaded by

    Spoken and written language have important differences. Spoken language is unplanned and interactive with elements like gestures, variations in speed and intonation. Written language is more planned, organized, and formal with elements like proper grammar, neutral roles, and punctuation. Characteristics of spoken language include repeating, first draft status, and informal vocabulary whereas written language aims for a final draft with dense content. Speech comes before writing historically and children learn to speak automatically before being taught to read and write.

    Is written language superior to speech ?!


    English language has two main features

    written & spoken

    Main Differences

    Sounds VS letters

    Permanency & Redundancy

    Formality & Function

    Vocabulary & Sentences

    Strategies

    interaction Between listener and speaker

    1-Formality
    Examples: A written note might say, "Would you like to go out to lunch? The person who would write that note, might alternatively say, in person, "You wanna go out for lunch? "

    2-Grammatically
    More verb based phrases having treatment (W), being treated(S) hospital care (W), go to hospital (S) More predicative adjectives misleading statistics (W) statistics are misleading (S))

    3-Vocabulary & Sentences


    Oral communication uses words with fewer syllables than the written language. Written English consists of neat, correct sentences. Speech usually consists of idea units.

    Examples
    because kuz got you gotcha "I don't wanna go to the party, kuz it sounds boring." "I gotcha that candy bar you asked for." hasta

    has to bet you betcha "I betcha can't eat ten hot dogs!"

    "He hasta know how much he means to me." hafta

    have to

    "I hafta clean the house before I go out."

    4- Pronunciation
    Written: I want to go to the store
    Spoken : I wanna go to the store

    Sounds patterns in spoken


    We write slowly than we speak Once the utterance is spelled there's no way 2 take it back and it dies in the wind . Unlike the written form, its documented and can be shifted
    In Spoken You must know the sound system of the language You must also know how the sounds change in fast speech. The English sound system varies . In WRITTEN we replace the pauses, intonation and the hesitation that shown in speeches with Punctuation (.,;:-) in writing. Accent spelling Dialect vocabulary

    Finally .. Redundancy
    Repetition is built in to language it self & Necessary for effective COMMUNICATION

    Spoken Language Problems and solutions

    Conclusion
