Spoken and written language: Some differences

Beccles whose boyfriend’s parents bought him … . These complex noun
groups pack information very densely. They are difficult to put together
in real time, and also difficult to process for understanding. Therefore,
spoken English often simply strings items together instead of nesting
them inside one another in a complex noun group.

His cousin in Beccles, her boyfriend, his parents bought him a Ford Escort.
9.1.4 Spoken language is often repetitive
In the discussion on heights we noted the repetition in: I was okay until
I had a rather nasty experience about er, height. Until then I was okay. I
could go anywhere. This kind of repetition is necessary to give the listener
time to process what is being said and sometimes to add emphasis.
Because of this, repetition is a feature even of carefully prepared speech.
If you listen to politicians speaking you will probably hear lots of
repetition. British politicians, for example, often say things like: It’s good
for business, it’s good for the consumer, and it’s good for Britain.
9.1.5 Conversation is interactive
If there are two or more people involved in the production of a
discourse they make use of mechanisms to organise turn-taking, and to
ensure, as far as possible, that all participants are on the same track.
