Public speaking is an evolving art as the options for preparing, delivering, and hearing speeches have changed over time.
Speakers have many options for researching and delivering speeches.
Aristotle (384-322 BCE) studied rhetoric which is what public speaking was called at the time.
In Aristotle's book Rhetoric, Aristotle emphasized the importance of adapting speeches to specific situations and audiences.
Aristotle's concept of audience centered communication holds true today.
Aristotle discussed proofs which was another foundation of public speaking.
Proofs are the types of support a speaker uses for a specific audience and occasion.
Aristotle identified three types of proofs logos, pathos, and ethos.
Logos refers to rational appeals based on logic, facts, and analysis.
Pathos appeals occur when speakers appeal to our emotions.
Ethos appeals are based on the speaker's credibility or character.

Models of human communication capture the communication process visually.
The transmission model portrays human communication as information flowing in a single direction from sender to receiver.
The interactional model expands on the transmission model by adding two key elements, channel and feedback.
Messages pass from a sender through a channel, or mode of communication, to a receiver or receivers. The channel might be a person, telephone, text message, or webcam.
Receivers respond to sources with feedback.
Communication in the interactional model is two-way, with messages going back and forth between the source and the receiver.
The transactional model added three important elements noise, context, and environment.
Noise refers to any interference that prevents messages from being understood.
Context is the setting for the communication.
The environment includes all the outside forces that might affect communication.
Channel refers to the mode or medium of communication. In today's world, public speaking often involves multiple channels, including webcams, videoconferencing, digital slides, text messaging, or email.
The audience is the intended recipients of the message. Today's audiences may extend beyond the people who hear the speaker in person throughout e use of digital recordings and webcams.
Noise is any interference in the understanding of a message. May be internal to the speaker, or external, as a result of environmental sounds.
Feedback provides the speaker information about how an audience understands the message.

The second part of the speech is the body.
The body of a speech includes the speaker's main points and subordinate points.
The third part of the speech is the tranisitions.
Transitions are used to move from the introduction to the body, from one point to the next, and from the body to the conclusion.

Identify the appropriate number of points to include in your speech.
Organize the main points in a clear and logical pattern.
Speakers generally rely on six patterns of organization.
Chronological pattern allows you to arrange your ideas in a time sequence and to trace the history of a topic.

Claims propose conclusions based on the evidence presented.
Claims lay the groundwork for your thesis.
Arguments include two types of claims.
The conclusion is the primary claim or assertion a speaker makes.
A premise gives a reason to support a conclusion.
Arguments called enthymemes assume the audience will figure out the premise or conclusion on their own.
An enthymeme invites audience participation as they mentally fill in the missing parts of the argument.
Evidence provides the foundation for your claims.
Logical appeal can be the most persuasive type of appeal when presented well.
Appeals to speaker credibility can be highly effective depending on how the audience views the speaker's ethos.
Your audience must perceive you as likeable to sociable.
Emotional appeals, or pathos, rely on emotional evidence and stimulation of feelings to influence an audience.
Appeals to cultural beliefs, or mythos rely on the values and beliefs embedded in cultural narratives or stories to influence an audience.
Reasoning provides the bridge between the claim and evidence.
Deductive reasoning argues from a general principle to a specific instance or case.
Speakers use inductive reasoning when they support a claim with specific instances or examples.
Inductive reasoning asks the audience to accept a general claim based on a few cases, or even just one case.
Speakers use analogical reasoning when they compare two similar objects, processes, concepts, or events and suggest that what holds true for one also holds true for the other.
A fallacy results in an erroneous argument.
Fallacies stemming from the claims a speaker makes refer to errors in basic assumptions or assertions.
False dilemma fallacy occurs when a speaker tries to reduce the choices an audience cn make even though other alternatives exist.
Begging the question is another fallacy where speakers imply the truth of the conclusion in the premise or simply assert the validity of the conclusion is self evident.
Slipper slop fallacy occurs when the speaker says that one event will necessarily lead to another without showing any logical connection between the two.

Speakers using the appeal to tradition fallacy argue that the status quo or current state of things is better than any new idea or approach.
Fallacies in reasoning involve errors in how the speaker links the evidence and the claims.
The division fallacy is an error in deductive reasoning in which the speakers assume that what's true of the whole is also of the parts making up the whole.
The hasty generalization fallacy occurs when the speaker makes a claim after offering only one or two examples, or the examples offered do not represent the larger group.
The post hoc fallacy involves concluding that a causal relationship exists simply because one event follows another in time.
Weak analogy fallacy results when two things have important dissimilarities that make the comparison inaccurate and the analogy faulty.
Fallacies in responding occur when listeners make errors in argument when critiquing a speaker's arguments.
Ad hominem fallacy occurs when a claim is rejected based on the speaker's character rather than the evidence.
Guilty by association fallacy suggests something is wrong with the speaker's character.
Caricature fallacy involves misrepresenting a speaker's argument so that little of the original claim remains.
Loaded word fallacy uses emotionally laden words to distract from the speaker's argument and evaluate claims based on a misleading emotional response rather than the evidence presented.

Acceptance speech is expected after an individual is recognized, honored, or awarded.
Tributes and eulogies honor people for something they have done, who they were, where they have been, or where they are headed.
