What are the differences between oral and written language?
Oral language is direct, spontaneous, and guided by dialogue with external resources such as gestures, facial expressions, prosody, and voice, while written language is more objective, requires attention to grammatical norms and clarity in dialogue, and is more conservative and formal.
Oral language allows for constant innovation and greater involvement with speakers, while written language has greater distance and less interference from the interlocutor, greater predictability, possibility of responses, elaboration, precision, and allows for the elimination of ambiguities and value judgments.
Oral language is contextual, situational, implicit, not planned, spontaneous, redundant, close, simultaneous or almost, public, allows for reformulation, implies immediate feedback, redirects the text in formation to the listener, provides greater repetition and more frequent turns, while written language is not fragmented, complete, elaborate, formal, denser, distant, private, triggers possible reactions, follows a logical-semantic order, is more specific, and has greater lexical selectivity.
