| Sumari: | The category of digital oratory brings together numerous new speaking practices that are mediated by the digital interface. This contribution outlines a holistic approach to digital oratory, locating it with respect to more traditional (e.g., pre-digital and/or offline) formats, as well as examining some of the differences between the new digital practices. In the face of many general communication guides, the case is made here for a linguistic-informed approach to the teaching of oratory, based notably on theory developed within the framework of systemic functional linguistics. Various levels of analysis are considered, from participant framework, to lexico-grammar and multimodal resources. The focus is placed on ESP, where there has already been considerable research on specific formats. The article concludes with a discussion of four examples taken from the context of the workplace, representing the types of practices that prove pertinent in applied language business communication curricula. |
