    Cross Of Gold Speech Analysis

    The Presidential Election of 1986 between the Republican William McKinley and Democrat William Jennings Bryan, is thought to be one of the most impressive and complicated presidential elections in all of American History. One of the major highlights of the election was William Jennings Bryan’s “Cross of Gold” speech that sparked the people’s interest for the Democratic representative. This speech not only had a firm and well defined meaning, but its delivery was also delivered superbly. The speech itself was concerned with many problems, such as growing class divisions that later were the cause of many violent outbursts among the people. Money was the most prominent concern for the people in 1896 because of high employment rates and the fact that they were recovering from a few years of depression. The…

    The Great Society Speech Analysis

    Johnson uses several key elements of a great speech to target his audience. One of the key elements he uses are powerful metaphors and paints vivid imagery. In the speech at the University of Michigan, Johnson says several metaphors and vivid imagery. One of the first is “I have come today from the turmoil of your capital to the tranquility of you campus to speak about the future of your country.” He is making a comparison to the nation's capital to the university campus and connecting to the audience. He goes on to say, The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. This gives the Great Society a physical feature that can be felt, seen, and weighed. He is describing a solid foundation, which most believe is important for all things…

    Christopher Ree Speech Analysis

    In 1996 Christopher Reeve (a.k.a. Superman) spoke at the Democratic National Convention to persuade his audience that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is important. In his speech he used a considerable amount of diction and details. He used these devices to really make the audience not just hear but listen and then care. They obviously cared enough because later on that act was passed.…

    Phonological Assessment

    The article, “Phonological Assessment: A Systematic Comparison of Conversation and Picture Naming” by Lesley Wolk and Andrew W. Meisler, compares to methods of speech elicitation. Both of these methods have positive and negative aspects. Assessing phonological treatment as citing is easy and effective. It allows the Speech Pathologist to have control with a set list of words. However, a main weakness is that a citing procedure may not be accurate. A clinician can overestimate a child’s abilities. This leaves an unnatural sample. An advantage of obtaining a sample through spontaneous conversation is that it allows a sample from the most natural situation. However, a sample from children who do not want to communicate, are shy, or have behavioral problems will affect results.…

    Facial Primacy

    When I got home from college on Friday, I went to my friend’s house to hang out for a couple hours. There were a whole crowd of us so I took this as a good opportunity to due this assignment. I just sat and paid close attention to how they were speaking with each other. My friend Zach and Jake for example, were just sitting next to each other talking about guitars. Jake didn’t know what Zack was talking about so Zack was explaining how to play a guitar. Zack seemed to be using a lot of hand motions and showing examples of songs to play. Jake had his listening face on so he was making direct eye contact as Zack spoke to him. What Jake is doing could be an example of the facial primacy, and could also be using oculesics.…

    Attention to speech

    Attention to speech

    The first of the four Approaches I will discuss is Attention to Speech. Taglimonte (2006: p.8) suggests that it is “the style from which every other style must be calibrated”. William Labov devised a sociolinguistic interview designed to produce a range of types of speech. His main interest was to obtain and identify data that represented people’s casual speech, rather than speech that was altered due to the presence of an observer. Most of the interview was conversational and produced two types of speech, these were identified as careful speech “the interviewee was somewhat guarded” Schilling- Eates (2004: p.384) and casual speech “the interviewee spoke in a more natural way” Schilling- Eates (2004: p.384). The interview contained several tasks to elicit speech that was very self-conscious, as well as to produce signs of phonological variants relevant to the study, a reading passage, a word-list and a list of minimal pairs. Labov’s interview demonstrated that style changes are triggered primarily by the amount of attention people pay to their speech while they converse. However Attention to speech approach has been criticized, for example Bell (1984) notes that it is difficult to quantify attention to speech, and “experiments designed to investigate the effects of differing degrees of attention to speech on variation in usage levels vs. vernacular variants have resulted in mixed results” Bell (1984 p: 58). In addition Coupland (2003: p.34) also suggest that it is not possible to define naturalness in speaking.…
