the correct literature term for 'making a speech'?

i am doing a very important english literature and language essay and desperately need to know this. i have searched the web but cannot seem to find anything.

my english teacher said it in class the other day but i cannot remember what he said.

i want to say.. "it comes from the semantic field of speech making", but obviously the correct term for speech making

many thanks

    the ordinary utilization whilst giving a character verbal replace is to apply a phonetic spelling relatively than a double contraction. that's ordinary even whilst it is not a contraction. i'm familiar with seeing "could of" and "would desire to of" and "could of" whilst there'd be experience in "could've" and "would desire to've" and "could've". The spell checker right here won't settle for "there'd", "would desire to've" and "could've" interior the previous sentence. i've got been annoyed by ability of this. The "would desire to na", etc. is barely organic in areas the place Scottish is interior the background. i'd desire to nay understand him. it is not a sloppy dropping of the t in no longer. there became ne'er a t in nay.
