Planned speech
Speech that is prepared in advance, resulting in more polished, structured, and fluent delivery with fewer spontaneous features. Planned speech includes prepared presentations and scripted language.
Real World
Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech was a carefully planned and rehearsed text, which is why it contains complex syntactic parallelism and anaphora that would be impossible to produce spontaneously.
Exam Focus
When comparing speech types, use comparative discourse markers ('whereas', 'by contrast') to sharpen your AO1 analysis.
