RELATIONAL PROCESS ON FORMAL SPEECH

A speech is defined as an activity communication that uses spoken languages as a medium. In the speech, the communicator is a single speaker and the audiences are the listener group. Edmundson (1970:8) says that speech is the power or action of expressing or describing thoughts, feelings, or perceptions given to the audience by using the articulation of words. Speech is divided in to two categories. They are direct and indirect speech. Primarily, speech and its messages are concerned with ideas (Baird 1971:117). It means that, when people talk to each other, they deliver their speech. The messages that they convey must inherently contain ideas or particular purposes.
