Chapter One Study Guide
Chapter 1 Notes
Chapter 1 Notes:
- Why do we communicate? How do we communicate? When do we communicate? Where do we communicate? Who do we communicate with?
- Three ways…action (one way), interaction (exchange), transaction (shared exchange- constitutes) (8-9)
- Symbols (arbitrary- abstract- [ambiguous])/ Signs (causal- concrete)—meaning (single/multiple/contextual/socially constructed) (10-14)
- Presentational (version, opinion), representational (fact) –nonverbal/ verbal
What do the authors mean when they say, “your communication with other people presents them with a way of looking at the world that is based on how you prefer them to see it”? (15)
Frames (frame of reference) (knowledge base) – framing assumptions
Intentionality (conscious, deliberate behavior)
What is meant by, “In light of our relational perspective on communication, you can usually make assumptions about the level of intentionality of people you know, and you make these assumptions from you know about them personally”? (17)
Five types of communication: (18)
Successful: intentionally sent/ accurately received
Miscommunication: intentionally sent/ inaccurately received
Accidental: unintentionally sent/ accurately received
Attempted: intentionally sent/ not received
*Danger: unintentionally sent/ inaccurately received
Give an example for each of these modes of communication.
Explain the meaning of communication as defined on page 19- 20 in italics.
“Communication is the transactional use of symbols, influenced, guided, and understood in the context of relationships, taken for granted understandings, meanings, and reality that it represents and creates as ways for people to share an understanding of the world that they inhabit together”.

Analyzing the audience
- Relationship with the speaker
- Relationship with the topic
- View of the occasion
- Attitudes, beliefs, values
Topic

- Facts vs. Opinions
- Comparisons/ Contrasts
- Testimony (Expert/ Lay)
- Examples
- Statistics (Beware: fabrications, time, average discrepancy, pop. base, how the question is asked, wisely used- effective)
- Statistics ( Proper usage: explain to audience, use sparingly, credible source, simplify , personally involve yourself with statistics for impact)
- Consider quality, quantity, effectiveness
- Source selection: unbiased, peer reviewed, expertise, recency, credibility
- Visual aids (VA): Do they…
- Enhance audience understanding, appreciation, retention, attention and speaker credibility?
- VA’s should be..
- Fully prepared
Limited in number
Relatively simple (6x6 rule)
Inoffensive
Easily seen
Fully discussed
Incorporated seamlessly (they flow)
Secondary focus
There job is to highlight and supplement …
Ch12: Development
*Go online and find sample outlines. How do they fit with the book‘s structural format?
* Complete your outline and then use these notes as a checklist.
*Offer specific instances where you use each of the organizational patterns.
Body
- Points Principles :
- Main- Sub (credibility, logic, and emotionally connected):
- Unity (focused, only necessary information to support thesis)
- Balance (equal parts- time, scope, and importance)
- Guidance (guide, direct audience through speech- control)
- Transitions (connecting lines between main points)
- Organizational Pattern:
- Order of main points for optimal audience comprehension:
- Chronological (time sequence- history/ development)
- Spatial (physical relation- layouts)
- Causal (cause and effect, demonstrating links and patterns: persuasion)
- Q/ A (pose question and then answer- specific concerns: persuasion)
- Topical Pattern (specific categorical information- types of things, ties issues to topic)
- Problem/Solution/ Elimination (problem and solution, and preferences: persuasion)
- Introduction
- attention getter:
- illustration, personal reference, provocative facts/ stats, question, quotation, humor
- thesis: purpose, summary statement
- credibility, relational connection, orientation information to familiarize audience with topic
- Preview: (chronological set up)
- Conclusion
- Wrap up signal/ phrase: “Finally”, “As I draw to close”, “ to conclude”
- Restate thesis: purpose, summary statement
- Summary of main points discusses: “Today I discusses A, B, and C..”, “To review…A,B, and C”
- Audience motivation: “ In the future…”, I suggest that research look at…” , “ I would be interested to know more about…”, “ This project has me thinking about…” (Clincher, relational reinforcement: persuasion)
Ch13: Relating
*Find three sources online that support your topic. How are they similar, how do they differ?
*Consider your audience. Where do you think they stand on your topic? Take a poll. Analyze your audience using the Social Judgment theory.
*Think of a syllogism and enthymeme for your speech.
Informative Speeches: definition/ description
- Expository: in depth analysis: definition
- Process: how to speech: description
Strategies
- Develop relational connection: Why does it matter to you? How does it affect you?
- Narrow focus: stick to the thesis
- Adapt to complexity: summarize, help audience understand
- Clear and simple
- Clear organization and guide audience
- Stress significance
- Choose your language: concrete, abstract, descriptive
- Relate unknown material to common knowledge
- Motivate your audience
Persuasive Speeches: convince, actuate
- Convince: impact audience thinking
- Claim of policy: call to action
- Claim of value: belief (good, bad, helpful, harmful)
- Claim of fact: true or false (representation)
- Claim of conjecture: determined true or false (presentation)
- Audience approaches: reinforce thought, change thought, create new thought
- Actuate: impact audience behavior
- Reinforce existing behavior
- Alter existing behavior
- Cease existing behavior
- Enact new behavior
- Avoid future behavior
- Proofs: Pathos ( emotional appeals), Logos ( logical reasoning – inductive/ deductive), Ethos ( credibility)
- Syllogism: A is true, B is like A, and therefore B is true. ALL is high quality, Great Value is similar to ALL, and Great Value is high quality.
- Enthymeme: syllogism missing a piece. ALL is high quality and Great Value is like ALL. You figure out the rest. IPODS are MP 3 players. MP 3 players must be like IPODS.
- Social Judgment Theory: audience relation to topic: latitude of acceptance ( range of positions), anchor position ( preferred position), latitude of rejection ( unacceptable points), latitude of non commitment ( positions of flexibility)
- Variables: audience involvement (recognition, significance, importance), assimilation effect ( in your latitude of acceptance- strongest), contrast effect ( in your latitude of rejection- strongest)
Ch 14: Delivery
*Search public speaking apprehension on the internet, what is your impression of this topic? Why?
*What are the pros and cons of each of the delivery styles?
*What are your physical tendencies when giving a speech? Why?
Guidelines:
-Be yourself, be conversational, avoid drawing attention to mistakes- pause, regroup, and go on
Styles:
-manuscript delivery (speech wrote out) good for accuracy NOT IN CLASS!
- memorized delivery (speech from memory) optional
- Extemporaneous delivery (speech with minimal notes) YES!!
Goals:
- Enhance credibility: dynamic and energetic, calm composure, social able, inspiring
- Increase audience understanding: guide the audience, tell a story: anticipate audience needs before speech not during
- Connect on a relational level with audience: talk with them and not at them: identification
Components:
- Personal appearance: appropriate, clean and kept, avoid distraction- enhance credibility
- Vocalics: Pitch (appropriate to statement; vary- high/ low), Rate (steady- not to fast or slow), Articulation (Be clear and distinct, avoid mumbling and slang), Volume (adjust accordingly- not too loud or too soft), Pauses (breathe), Nonfluencies (avoid: like, um, er, you know, ok…)
- Eye contact ( Scan audience, focusing in on multiple individuals throughout)
- Facial expression and Body Language – gestures ( appropriate and fitting to speech- avoid distracting mannerisms: nervous energy)
Manage Apprehension: recognize your fears, get to know your audience, know your topic, know your speech (beginning and ending), and know your VAs. PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!! PRACTICE!!
