Can you think of situations where formal or informal communication is needed? Use the chart below to write down situations (people, places, or settings) where formal communication is needed and informal communication is needed. Try to identify three or more situations in each column.

Spoken Versus Written Communication

What’s the Difference?

While both spoken and written communication function as agreed-upon rule-governed systems of symbols used to convey meaning, there are enough differences in pragmatic rules between writing and speaking to justify discussing some of their differences. Imagine for a moment that you’re a college student who desperately needs money. Rather than looking for a job you decide that youVenn Diagram. On the left, a circle for "Written"; on the right, a circle for "Spoken." Written contains "formal/asynchronous/recorded"; Spoken contains "Informal/synchronous/unrecorded." Where they overlap contains "rule governed/consists of symbols/convey meanings"’re going to ask your parents for the money you need to make it through the end of the semester. Now, you have a few choices for using verbal communication to do this. You might choose to call your parents or talk to them in person. You may take a different approach and write them a letter or send them an email. You can probably identify your own list of pros and cons for each of these approaches. But really, what’s the difference between writing and talking in these situations? Let’s look at four of the major differences between the two: 1) formal versus informal, 2) synchronous versus asynchronous, 3) recorded versus unrecorded, and 4) privacy.

Verbal Communication Then

Historians have come up with a number of criteria people should have in order to be considered a civilization. One of these is writing, specifically for the purposes of governing and pleasure. Written verbal communication is used for literature, poetry, religion, instruction, recording history and governing. Influential written verbal communication from history includes:

1. The Ten Commandments that Jews used as a guide to their faith.

2. Law Code of Hammurabi which was the recorded laws of the Ancient Babylonians.

3. The Quran which is core to the Islam faith.

4. The Bible which is followed by Christians.

5. The Declaration of Independence which declared the U.S. independent from Britain.

6. Mao’s Little Red Book which was used to promote communist rule in China.
