1. FORMATION OF MEANING

2. At the end of this session, you are expected to: Critique one’s choice of language based on in-depth analysis of several contexts.

3. Demonstrate appropriate language form. Explain the factors that affect listeners’ formation of meaning.

4. Have you experienced that your speech utterance is misconstrued by your listeners or your message is interpreted in different contexts?

5. Well, these are the common reasons why our message loses its meaning.

6. So let’s understand the complexities of conversations and how form and context changes it.

7. There is an adage commonly thrown around that says, “meanings are in people” .

8. This denotes that a word or statement does not have an inherent or fixed meaning.

9. Rather, the meaning depends on the interpretation of the person who hears such a word or statement.

10. Or the interpretation depends on the listener’s beliefs, previous experiences, or background because no two persons can have similar beliefs or experiences.

11. When we are asked to do public speaking, the most common questions are: What is the occasion? Who are my audience? What is the purpose of my speech?

12. Knowing your topic is the initial step to communicate your point of view.

13. Knowing your audience allows you to emphasize certain details or ideas within your topic that is relevant to your audience.

14. Knowing the intent of your speech gives you the motivation to really connect to your audience

15. As we have learned, COMMUNICATION , involves: SENDER RECEIVER

16. The sender communicates the message with the goal of delivering the message clearly.

17. The receiver who receives it will also have the goal of interpreting the content the way the sender delivers the message.

18. The concept of understanding the message imposes the role of the sender in being mindful of his words and fitting the context of his message to the type of audience he has.

19. As to the receiver, he must also consider what form of language the speaker intends to communicate.

20. Whether the speaker : intend to impose a command? want to show his authority? Whatever the intentions are, it will only show that the message implies a purpose.

21. FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE LISTENERS’ FORMATION OF MEANING

22. LANGUAGE FORM The kind of language used by a speaker is important in establishing a connection with his/her audience.

23. The greater the familiarity of the audience to the language or words used, the better the connection.

24. Bygates (2010) explains that limitations in understanding of the text or message can be a reason for conflict and misunderstanding.

25. He emphasized that often, we think that we sent a message in a complete and self-sufficient way, so we assume we are perfectly understood by our intended listeners only to realize later that we are not.

26. As a result, we could come across as arrogant, mean, and obscure because our message lacks explicitness.

27. THREE KINDS OF SENTENCE MEANINGS TO HELP LISTENERS UNDERSTAND THE FORMS AND STRUCTURE (BYGATE - 2010)

28. Communicative Function Which deals with the ability of the host to use the punctuations properly such as how interrogatives are formed, how to complain, ask or apologize.

29. Specific Meaning Speaks about how the host used the language to deliver his ideas and opinions.

30. Social Context Refers to the manner of conversing whether it be making connections or exchanging ideas.

31. DURATION OF INTERACTION Duration or time factor is crucial in sustaining the interaction between the speaker and the listener.

32. If the listener is a supporter of the speaker, then the former has high chances of staying until the latter finishes the message’s delivery.

33. But if the listener is a critic, he/she may not have the patience to stay until the end.

34. Important Reminder: When you do the public speaking, keep your message simple, brief, precise and determine only the important points and give examples for each point.

35. RELATIONSHIP OF SPEAKER The nature of the relationship between the speaker and the listener determines the kind of interaction would transpire.

36. ROLE OF THE SPEAKER The speaker’s purpose in an interaction allows the listener to assess whether the exchange of information is worthwhile.

37. The speaker must determine his purpose and role in administering the speech.

38. He needs to understand his topic, its essence, and its impact on the audience.

39. Delivery The manner by which the message is delivered affects the formation of meaning.

40. “The medium is the message,” (McLuhan in ( Carr , 2010) McLuhan alludes to the importance of message delivery. The medium can be as powerful, if not more powerful, than the content.

41. 6. Message brought to life by how the speaker delivers it. A topic or the content in itself may be compelling, but it needs human emotion to draw out a reaction from its audience.

42. "In the modern era, smartphones have become ubiquitous, permeating every facet of daily life."

43. "The pernicious influence of misinformation on social media has far-reaching consequences, undermining the foundation of informed discourse."
