ethos

(Aristotle) a speaker's moral character/credibility

pathos

(Aristotle) emotional appeals, evoking strong feelings (ex. anger, sadness, happiness, fear, sympathy, etc.) from listeners, (this is sometimes appropriate but sometimes immoral/coercive, they shouldn't be deceptive/manipulative or replace well-reasoned arguments)

proofs

(Aristotle) speakers use to support their assertions -extrinsic: supports claims with objective evidence (ex. laws) -intrinsic/artistic: based on the speaker's character, the emotional nature of the issue, and the logic of the argument to persuade listeners (types of persuasive appeals: logos, ethos, pathos)

logos

(Aristotle) using an appeal to reason or logic

halo effect

(Edward Thorndike) a bias which causes a person's overall impression of someone or something to influence the their feelings and thoughts about that entity's character or properties, liking one part thus liking the whole thing (failing to see their weaknesses)

motivated sequence

(a speech organization pattern made in the 1930s by communications professor Alan H. Monroe for sales presentations), used when the speakers want listeners to respond in a positive way (ex. used for political speeches, advertisements, etc.) steps: 1. gain listeners' attention 2. establish a need/problem 3. satisfy the need by offering a solution 4. visualize the need as being satisfied in the future 5. ask for action from the audience in order to ensure the need is satisfied

topoi

(based on ancient rhetoric techniques) asking and answering questions to generate speech topic ideas

improving listening skills

(be active not passive) -avoid: getting distracted, trying to remember every detail instead of the overall theme, jumping to conclusions and making assumptions without actually listening closely, and judging the book by its cover/being distracted by the speaker and the delivery of the speech instead of focusing on the actual message -good habits: sit up straight, remain quiet, silently paraphrase what you are hearing/the main points, take notes, organize ideas, develop questions, asses the speaker's organization, notice the speaker's nonverbal behaviors, do it with empathy (understand the speaker's feelings and point of view), have an open mind (recognize personal biases and avoid prejudgment of the message), note the total meaning (including verbal as well as nonverbal, and deep as well as literal)

common fallacies

(errors/flaws in reasoning and evidence) -hasty generalizations: jumping to a conclusion without sufficient evidence -false-cause: making the invalid/incorrect assumption that one event causes another event (the events were only coincidental) -invalid analogies: comparing two events or things that are not alike -ad hominen: attacking or praising the character or integrity of the person making the argument rather than dealing with the issue in question

active language

(listeners find it more engaging than it's opposite) structured in the typical way/the person doing the thing (the opposite/passive is when the thing being done is put first and they use the past participle of the verb, ex. spoken, written, etc.)

specific purpose statement

(often phrased as an infinitive statement) should include the general purpose (inform, persuade, entertain), intended audience, and exact goal of the speech

first amendment

(part of the Bill of Rights/first ten) freedom of speech, press, assembly, petition, and religion

interviews

(primary research) gathering information from talking with experts; you should determine the purpose, and be prepared with intelligent and meaningful questions

criticism

(the final step of effective listening) the process of evaluating a message and deciding whether it is believable, through, and valuable based on certain standards, (the Latin origin means "able to juge or discern" which is contrary to the negative connotation people associate with it), it helps people determine what information is relevant and true, and it encourages people to maintain evaluation standards and appreciate the creativity of others

research sources

(the library is still a valuable resource:) books, periodical (magazines and professional publications published on a regular bases) databases (ex. Reader's Guide, Lexis / Nexis, ProQuest), newspapers, encyclopedias, government publications, quotation books, biographical aids (for contemporary people, ex. Who's Who in America), atlases, and gazzetteers (geographical dictionaries), the internet is also helpful (although the accuracy of the information there is a concern), in a virtual library (online) the information is screened for accuracy before it is added

introduction

(the part of a speech which is written after the body is written, it's about 10% of the speech) it should: gain the attention/interest of the audience, preview the topic of the speech, establish speaker credibility and a connection with listeners, -startling statement (a shocking statement related to the topic) -rhetorical question (a question listener are supposed to answer mentally instead of vocally) -story -personal reference (an illustration of how the speech topic relates to audience members) -quotation (attention-getting or thought-provoking) -suspense (wording that leaves the audience uncertain about the topic and raises listener curiosity) it should *relate to the topic* of the speech so that people (who are now interested) aren't disappointed or annoyed

audience adaptation

(the purpose of audience analysis) modifying a message to make it appropriate for a specific audience; knowing the diversity of your audience can help you to know what examples are best and the viewpoint your audience will be listening to the speech from

imagery

(uses concrete words) vivid language that creates mental images of experiences, objects, or concepts

types of listening

-appreciative: for pleasure (ex. music, jokes, etc.) -empathetic: in order to give emotional support to the speaker (ex. friends listening to each other's problems) -comprehensive: in order to understand the message (ex. class lecture) -critical: in order to evaluate a message and decide whether to accept or reject the information, and determining fact from opinion (ex. court case)

giving criticism

-based on: subject and purpose, audience, occasion, and context, research, thesis and main points, supporting material, organization, style and language, introduction, conclusion, and connectives, and delivery -guidelines: point out the positive more than the negative and start with something positive, provide specific comments rather than general ones (regarding both the positive and the negative), be objective instead of biased (you should critique speeches the same way regardless of whether you agree with the message or not), give constructive comments (explain how to improve, and avoid giving the speaker an exhaustive list of things to work on), structure comments as I-messages instead of you-messages ("I would have liked to see more examples" instead of "You should have used more examples"), and consider ethical responses (don't evaluate a speech based on your feelings toward the speaker or the speaker's diverse characteristics, ex. cultural differences, gender, religion, nationality, etc.)

special occasion/ceremonial speeches

-commemorative (paying tribute to someone or something) -introduction: introduces another person, generally the main speaker who the audience came to see -presentation: publicly presents an award or gift to another person -after-dinner: a thoughtful and lighthearted speech which is meant to entertain -acceptance: voicing appreciation for some form of public recognition (ex. gift, award, etc.) -roasts and toasts -eulogies

word meaning

pauses

-filled/vocalized: breaks in speech which are filled with utterances such as ah, well, um should be avoided because they make the speaker look unprepared or tentative -unfilled: 1-2 second breaks in speech can be used effectively (ex. before and after the speech, at transitions, etc.)

types of questions

-follow-up: helps gain additional information -open: broad questions -closed: seek brief/short answers -fixed-alternative: with limited answers available -loaded: limits answers to those that serve the questioner's agenda -leading: leads someone to answer to agree with the speaker's bias -vague: doesn't give enough information (leaving the person unsure how to correctly answer) -scale: designed to measure the level of agreement or disagreement with issues -mirror: repeat part of a previous response to encourage further discussion -rhetorical: have a self-evident answer, or that provoke curiosity that the speech then proceeds to satisfy

types of arguments

-from example: draw a conclusion from an example -from analogy: illustrate similarities between two things -from causation: saying that one event causes another -from sign: using an observable symptom/indicator as proof of a claim

methods of speech delivery

-impromptu: little or no specific or immediate preparation -from a manuscript: entire speech is written and read -from memory: entire speech is written and memorized -extemporaneously: speech is prepared and presented from a basic set of notes or an outline

credibility

articulation and pronunciation mistakes

-omission (leaving out a sound or syllable of the word) -substitution (replacing the correct sound in a word with a different/similar sound) -addition (adding unnecessary sounds to words) -incorrectly accenting a word (emphasizing the syllables wrong) -pronouncing silent sounds (sometimes letters in the word don't make a sound when said aloud)

voice

-pitch: the relative highness/lowness of a speaker's voice, you can use this and emphasize certain words or phases differently to communicate effectively -volume: the loudness/intensity of a speaker's voice (be careful not to speak to loud, too soft, or fade out at the end of sentences) -rate: the speed at which the speaker talks (average is 150 words/min. avoid speaking too slow, too fast, or without variation) -quality: the tone/sound of a speaker's voice (it should be clear and pleasant instead of breathy, harsh, raspy, or nasally) -inflections: changes in pitch and tone -monotone: speaking without a change in inflection -rhythm: pattern of sound the speech makes

types of effects

-primacy: the presumed impact of placing the most compelling information/arguments first in the speech -recency: the presumed impact of saving the strongest or most important information for near the end of the speech (people remember what they last heard)

organizational patterns

-topical/categorical: when a topic is easily subdivided, each main point can be a part/section of the whole -temporal/sequential: chronological order (mostly for informative speeches) -spacial: ordered in a directional pattern, ex. top to bottom, left to right, east to west, inside to outside, etc. (mostly for informative speeches) -climactic: ordered according to importance, size, etc. -problem-solution/Dewey's reflective thinking sequence: the first point is the problem and the second point is the solution (for persuasive speech) -causal/cause-effect pattern: illustrates the cause and effect relationship, the cause and the effect are separate points but either can be presented first -statement of reasons: presenting the 2nd strongest argument first, the weakest argument second, and the best argument last so it will be memorable (for persuasive speeches) -structure-function: illustrates the structural/functional qualities of something by explaining the different functions separately and in detail (mostly for informative speeches) -pro-and-con/advantages-disadvantages: separately describing the ups and downs of something -circle pattern: arranging one idea that leads to another and finally the last idea leads back to the speech thesis
