Example about language choice

” I learned that using imagery is way more common than emotive language but when doing an analysis of the information or speech, you can find both of them in the writing. The two things are very similar but yet different. For example, when using imagery your objective is to create a picture in the readers mind as they’re reading your writing to help promote a feeling from them whether its sadness, anger, or fear. When using emotive language your goal is to get your reader to feel a certain way and it helps to have that in mind when you are writing your speech. What do I want them to feel? Lastly, the video about how social media is changing language is a very interesting topic. The author brought up a good point about how when we had flip phones with a small keyboard that had only a couple of letters per key, was when the rise of acronyms came about. Ever since then, we have used informal language to not only get our message along faster but because of the simple ease of it. We can continue adapting to the change of technology by staying involved with it. I know everybody is going to be involved either way, but I mean it in the sense that generations before the age of smart phones should start trying to learn the new lingo as it is not going to go away any time soon. Going off of that, our generation, that is using the informal lingo, is going to become CEO’s and managers in the next decade or so and times will change along with technological advancement.

Example about language choice

In the first video, the three persuasive appeals known as ethos, pathos, and logos are talked about. In daily life, I tend to use a mix of all three in my conversations with different people. For example, if I want to establish credibility, I tend to talk about my experience or education level to help accentuate my points. On the other hand, if I want to appeal to someone’s emotions, I use imagery and words with a deep meaning. Lastly, logos is used when I simply want to make my point clear through reasoning.

In the second video, the difference between imagery and emotive language is discussed. Emotive language is what a reader should feel when seeing a specific word while imagery is the image that a certain word suggests. These strategies are excellent ways to have a more effective speech. Both imagery and emotive language are connected to pathos and can help a reader understand the speech through the emotions that it conveys. For example, if someone wanted to talk about a rather tragic problem, they would use words that convey the dire situation and make the reader feel concerned and more motivated to listen.

In the last video, the effects of social media on the English language are viewed. Social media has changed common language greatly and long words are often condensed into a short combination of letters. For example, the phrase “I don’t know” is often shortened down to “idk”. People also often use emojis to express how they are feeling instead of words. We can continue adapting to technology changes by staying educated and informed about the world around us. Social media allows us to connect with the world and find out about things that we might not have without the internet.

Example about global audience

When I read both of the articles from Toastmasters, and Business.com, I was interested in the points they brought up that are things you wouldn’t necessarily think about like how you should be careful with metaphors because some cultures will take it different than others. Which makes total sense but its not something that would have been on the forefront of my mind. Another example of that which was from business.com was that you should vary the pitch and volume of your voice, which again, makes sense. I can see how that would make it so much easier to listen to somebody speak, I know that when I listen to somebody talking and they speak in a monotone voice the entire time it makes me uninterested to keep listening. The last point that I thought was good was from Toastmasters, and that you should know the meanings of words outside your native language. For example, if you are using a word from another culture and completely butcher the way you say it along with what the word means, then there is no point in bringing it up if you can’t pronounce it or if you don’t know the meaning. It can also be offensive to people of that culture that hear that and see that you’re not representing their culture in the way they know it to be or want it to be.

My take away from the case study about global public communication was that they are really putting in a good and positive effort to make sure that their global public communication is perfect. They hired professionals to look into their story, they created a number of social media pages that show how they’ve looked into each global etiquette per se. She talked about a lot about growing into the new day and age of technology instead of staying behind it, and that tied into their movement to get better with their global public communications.

Example about global audience

In the first article some tips I found helpful was don’t speak to fast. It says to remember that the normal pace of speech in one language might become incomprehensible for people relatively new to that language. Another one that I liked is to be mindful of body language, eye contact and personal space. I feel like posture is a big one when giving a speech because you don’t want to be slouching while giving a speech, it tells the audience that you don’t care. Mannerisms and eye contact speak volumes and what is taken for granted in one culture might be considered offensive in another this was also said. From the second article other tips I found helpful was vary the pitch and volume of your voice. It was said that when you employ consistent voice patterns throughout your speech, audience members will pick up on cues when you are emphasizing key takeaways. My second tip that I liked was use purposeful body language to emphasize your points. People are drawn to movement. When you move as you speak, you not only capture the audience’s attention but, more importantly, guide their attention toward key messaging. I feel like moving your hands while you speak, pointing at your presentation when showing pictures, to really engage the audience. In the video something I took away connection. They explained how it’s important to have a good connection with your (in this case) audience.
