Abstract | The current use of "informative and persuasive" speeches as public address types cannot be justified on functional grounds. The types of speeches chosen through which to gain adherence of minds are secondary to what it is that an individual wishes to gain adherence to. Specifically, the chosen thesis will determine the type of speeches to be employed in any given circumstance. Speech courses, then, should deal foremost with propositional approaches, thereby eliminating some degree of artificiality from the speaking situation and offering an inventional methodology that is more scientific. Using a problem solving approach, speakers can determine all the questions which they could ask in order to collect data to arrive at a thesis. From the data they may then, on a topics basis, select that which they must give to an audience to gain further adherence to a thesis. This "stases" approach of asking subquestions in describing areas of potential issues is orderly, logical, and efficient. (Thirty-four references are attached.) (KEH) |
