Speech is the vocalized form of human communication. It is based upon the syntactic combination of lexical and names that are drawn from very large vocabularies.

Reformation or education of the criminal is the aim of punishment. The

Attention to Speech. Taglimonte (2006: p.8) suggests that it is “the style from which every other style must be calibrated”.

By going first‚ his speech was not as remembered as Antony’s speech. Also he walked away during Antony’s speech‚ meaning he couldn’t defend himself and rebut what Antony was saying.

Free speech is important and essential in the society. It is necessary
