A speech; whether prepared or impromptu, ought to be a communicative process. For a speech when defined as \"discourse delivered to an audience,\"(1) is a communicative process by which information may be given and received. Inherent in the phrase \"given and received\" is the assumption that the speaker anticipates that his listener will understand and respond, and that the speech will be understood as it was intended.
The difficulty present in this \"intent - response\" theory is the problem of insuring that the listener will understand enough to respond to what the speaker has said. In an effort to ensure response, a speaker may make use of various factors of speech which help to enhance understanding. What these factors are and how they are observed and responded to by the listener are essential questions to be considered in this study.
