Abstract
Written speech possesses distinct features that differentiate it from spoken communication. It is characterized by a structured syntax, complex sentence construction, and precise vocabulary. Unlike oral speech, it lacks immediate feedback and relies on punctuation and formatting for clarity. Additionally, written language tends to be more formal and context-independent. This article explores the key characteristics of written speech, emphasizing its lexical, syntactic, and stylistic features in various communicative contexts.
