Discuss the two problems that arise when discussing a speaker's style.

What will be an ideal response?


- Style is not always a positive attribute.
* A politician who bully's the voters would have a style that hurts his or her effectiveness.
* Speakers who use vocalized pauses can also receive a negative response to their style because these distract from the message.
- We often think of style as ornamentation rather than part of the content.
* Selecting a plain style doesn't mean there isn't any style at all, but is the choice to reflect the content of the speech.
