Ch. 10 Immediate Versus Distant



There are several differences that the spoken versus the written language will differ. One is the immediate versus the distant. The immediate refers to public speaking where you will receive an immediate reaction from the audience and the distance where you will experience no reaction from the audience reading your work from a distance.
                The immediacy affects the language we use for an audience so we should put them to consideration. One, is that the listeners will provide feedback immediately and based on their feedback you receive you can plan your next choice of words. Secondly, public speaking involves using all the senses so you have ability to connect more with the audience to what you’re talking about.  Thirdly, you can address the setting and the people who are there. If their reading a book the author can’t say, “well you look fine in that hat,” but as a public speaker you can take advantage of addressing the audience and making them feel that their important for coming and listening instead of ignoring them.
