Speech slip

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A speech slip is a manuscript for an oral contribution.

It is prepared in advance and contains essential information on a topic (e.g. speech , government statement) or a set of questions (e.g. for summons to a committee of inquiry ) in a condensed form . Often, for the sake of clarity, the speech slip does not contain more than one or two pages.

In everyday life he enables company spokespersons and politicians to take ad hoc positions on non-specialist issues . The speech slip can be used in a similar way to a protocol to understand the content of a meeting. However, while the minutes represent the entirety of the speeches in a meeting, the speech slip only provides the basis for a single speech.

If the speaker deviates from the speech slip due to carelessness or the situation, the spoken word counts . In 1989, for example, a deviation from the speech sheet led to the fall of the Berlin Wall .

Quote

“Speech slips contain a written description of a problem and a brief orientation. Speech slips are divided into the following sections - State of affairs - Problem (one sentence!) - Opinion (of the editor) - Suggestions and recommendations (or alternatives). Generally speaking slips should not be longer than a typewriter page. The lecture note is a speech slip written in direct speech and enables the supervisor to make statements. "

- Roland Zedler : Planning and Management System, 1978, p. 117
