Read the statements below which give some different opinions on the question ‘What is special about spoken language?’ Think about your views on each statement.

Spoken language is more informal than written language.

I agree because when you write something you think about using the right language, spelling and grammar and with spoken language you dont have to worry about things like grammar and are less formal.

You can’t judge spoken language in the same way as written language.

I agree with this also because spoken language is definatly more informal and spontaneous whereas written language is usually more formal and has more thought put into it.

Written language is better than spoken language.

I don't agree with this statement because there are very different and I belive it depends on the writing/language, and you cant just generalise which one is 'better' even though written language is usually much more formal than spoken language so therefore some people may see it as 'better'.

People use language more correctly when they write than when they speak.

Yes this is usually correct because when you write you think more about what your going to say, but when you speak you usually use more slang and are more casual.

Spoken language is easier to understand than written language.

It depends who is speaking or the style of the literature, again it would be hard to generalise.

Spoken language is more lively and spontaneous than written language.

It depends on the type, because there are so many different types of written language and spoken laguage. I think it is a personal opinion but in my opinion I believe spoken language is more lively and spontaneous than written language.

Spoken language is more informal than written language.

disagree, i believe that writen language is more informal because you have to read the words and know how to read and understand them, but if it is spoken you might regonise the word to if it is said rather than writen.

You can’t judge spoken language in the same way as written language.

i agree, because with spoken you know how the characters are talking to each other, whereas if you were reading a book you wouldnt really know what tone the characters were using.

Written language is better than spoken language.

i disagree, i believe that they both have there different strengths, written language usually gives out more information but a high amount of written language can become tedious, but spoken language is usually less intense but sometimes some of the information goes through one ear and out the other.

People use language more correctly when they write than when they speak.

i disagree, because as the world is using more social networks and texting more, a high amount of people have started to type and write in slang type words to shorten down a word.

Spoken language is easier to understand than written language.

i agree, this is because it helps you to understand a word if you know how to pronounce it, and if a word is read to you, there is a higher chance that you will understand it.

Spoken language is more lively and spontaneous than written language.

i believe that spoken and written language are both as lively as each other, this is because, if someone is reading you a book, you get different tones and attitudes, but if your reading a book in your head, you dont really get the same tones but if your really into a book, your mind can imagen and play out how the characters are saying there lines to each other.

Leaf3 Feb. 21, 2012, 4:56 a.m.

Spoken language is more informal than written language

Yes, i agree with this as lots of people shortended words and talk in a more casual manner, whereas written language needs to be wrote formally so you are able to understand it clearly. Most spoken language is between 2 people or a group of people having an conversation. I believe there is only one exception for when spoken language is formal and this is when the speaker has an audience for example a News reporter talks foramlly to its audience.

You can’t judge spoken language in the same way as written language.

You can't judge spoken language the same as written language because spoken is your own personally way of communication. Everyones is different and the way people talk shows their emotions and feelings. Written language can be analysed and 'worked out' so some extent however spoken is different as you can't exactly know what that person is feeling or saying.

Written language is better than spoken language.

Yes, i believe written language is better then spoken because although you can get emotions through spoken language better you can start to create an image in your head and develope ideas throughout written language. Spoken language can also be hard to understand or grasp as many words are now put into 'slang' and shortended.

People use language more correctly when they write than when they speak.

Yes, i believe this is true because when people speak they don't really think about how they are saying things, if you're use to saying a certain word that may not be in the english vocabulary it doesn't matter that its incorrect. However in written language people tend to use correct language because they want people to understand it and make sense of it

Spoken language is easier to understand than written language.

This depends, i believe that sometimes spoken language can sometimes be more tricky to understand to the simple reason that everything is abbreviated, however it's usually easy to understand the message that is coming across.

Spoken language is more lively and spontaneous than written language.

Yes, i do think that spoken language is more lively than written language because you can emphise and exaggerate your emotions and this makes the conversation more intresting and exiciting. Whereas in written language you are restricted.
