definitional speeches

In definitional speeches the speaker attempts to set forth the meaning of concepts, theories,
philosophies, or issues that may be unfamiliar to the audience. In these types of speeches,
speakers may begin by giving the historical derivation, classification, or synonyms of terms
or the background of the subject. In a speech on How to identify a sociopath, the speaker
may answer these questions: Where did the word sociopath come from? What is a
sociopath? How many sociopaths are there in the population? What are the symptoms?
Carefully define your terminology to give shape to things the audience cannot directly sense.
Describing the essential attributes of one concept compared to another (as through use of
analogies) can increase understanding as well. For a speech on Elderly Abuse, the speaker
may compare this type of abuse to child or spousal abuse for contrast.
(explains a concept or theory of regarding a topic)

explanatory speeches
An explanatory speech is similar to the descriptive speech in that they both share the function
of clarifying the topic. But explanatory speeches focus on reports of current and historical
events, customs, transformations, inventions, policies, outcomes, and options. Whereas
descriptive speeches attempt to paint a picture with words so that audiences can vicariously
experience it, explanatory speeches focus on the how or why of a subject and its
consequences.

demonstration speeches
The most practical of all informative speeches, a demonstration speech shows listeners how
some process is accomplished or how to perform it themselves. The focus is on a
