  1. Spoken Vs Written Language

  2. Introduction Languages are first spoken, then written, and then understood

  3. Aspects of written and spoken language Written Spoken Unplanned Less structured Interactive Planned Organized Transactional

  4. Repeating first draft status vocabulary grammar intonation Variation in speed Loudness or quietness Gestures - body language Intonation Stress Rhythm Pausing and phrasing Characteristics of Spoken Language

  5. Characteristics of  Written Language • Final draft status • Density of content • Grammar • Neutrality of social roles • Punctuation

  6. Uniquely Written Vocabulary

  7. Which comes first: speech or writing? • Speech comes before writing, historically. • Many languages lack a written form. • Many individuals cannot use written language. • Children automatically learn to speak, • but have to be taught how to read.

  8. 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?" 1-Formality

  9. 2-Grammatically • more verb based phrases(e.g. having treatment (W), being treated (S), hospital care (W), go to hospital (S)) • fewer complex words and phrases (S)

  10. 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.

  11. because kuz "I don't wanna go to the party, kuz it sounds boring." bet you betcha "I betcha can't eat ten hot dogs!" could have + consonant kuda got you gotcha "I gotcha that candy bar you asked for." has to hasta "He hasta know how much he means to me." have to hafta "I hafta clean the house before I go out." Examples

  12. 4- Pronunciation Written: I want to go to the store Spoken : I wanna go duh the store If you doubt that "to" becomes "duh"

  13. Sounds patterns in spoken We write more slowly than we speak Once the utterance is spelled, there's no way to take it back and it dies in the wind. Unlike the written form, it’s 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

  14. Finally … Redundancy Repetition is built into language itself Necessary for effective COMMUNICATION
