What is speech stamps

What is speech stamps

""During the vote the forest of hands rose. After the announcement of results all enthusiastically and selflessly applauded. Their hearts knocked in unison"", - this small text is filled with speech stamps, and it is very unpleasant to read it.

Hackneyed words

Speech stamps are the words and expressions giving unpleasant pomposity, loud phrases behind which it is possible. Over the years rather large number of people had certain stereotypes of thinking. Quite often they slip in the speech of the person. It becomes boring, sad and unemotional.

That the phrase became a stamp, it has to be used very often in a lexicon of each member of society. Sometimes even the characteristic reflecting absolute uniqueness something can turn into a speech stamp over time. So happened to one of names of oil ("black gold"). However such designs considerably simplify life, allowing not to think long at a conversation.

Speech stamps deprive a concreteness thought (for example, the annual meeting is held at the highest level). Easier to say so, than to provide the long report, answering numerous questions. The person who is often using stamps in the speech becomes unpleasant for people around. He seems to them too superficial. In most cases so it also is.

Kantselyarizma

There are words which are appropriate only in a certain style of the speech. The kantselyarizm used in official style belong to them. The lack of emotions and very accurate statement of thoughts is characteristic of it. Everything has to be as much as possible laconic also on business. Whether such approach suits for art or colloquial style? Of course not. In this case bureaucratese will turn into a speech stamp which will make heavier and impoverish the speech. For example, you will tell: "The lack of spare parts of the car takes place". Having used similar in the speech at a conversation with somebody, be not surprised that will look askew at you. Whether it is simpler to tell that there are no spare parts from the car?

Language standards

Language standards are some kind of speech stamps of publicistic style. However in this case they are appropriate as they most precisely describe a subject and its properties. For example, "humanitarian aid", "security agencies", etc. In society the similar phrases are not perceived as usual speech stamps.

Cliche

Cliches belong to speech stamps, but they, like language standards, are appropriate in certain situations. "Hello" and "Good-bye" treat these designs. Despite frequent repeatability, they do not lose the emotional coloring. Sometimes cliches use in scientific literature or in the official letter.
