Differences between
written
&
spoken
• Writing is usually permanent and
written texts cannot usually be
changed once they have been
printed/written out.

• Speech is usually transient, unless

recorded, and speakers can correct
themselves and change their
utterances as they go along.

• A written text can

communicate across time and
space for as long as the
particular language and
writing system is still
understood.
• Speech is usually used for
immediate interactions.
• Writers can make use of
punctuation, headings,
layout, colours and other
graphical effects in their
written texts. Such things are
not available in speech
• Speech can use timing,
tone, volume, and timbre to
add emotional context.

• Some grammatical constructions are only

used in writing, as are some kinds of
vocabulary, such as some complex
chemical and legal terms.
• Some types of vocabulary are used only or
mainly in speech. These include slang
expressions, and tags like y'know, like, etc.

SOUNDS PATTERNS IN
SPOKEN
We write slowly than we speak
Once the utterance is spelled there's no way 2 take it back and
it dies in the wind . Unlike the written form, its documented and
can be shifted

In Spoken
 You must know the sound system of the language
 You must also know how the sounds change in fast speech.
 The English sound system varies .

In WRITTEN
 we replace the pauses, intonation and the hesitation that
shown in speeches with Punctuation (.,;:-) in writing.
 Accent  spelling
 Dialect vocabulary
