The ability to talk, or the act of talking, and also a formal talk given to an audience.
Speech has three everyday senses. It names the human ability to express thoughts in spoken words, the particular way someone talks, and a prepared address given to a group, such as a wedding toast or a political talk. In grammar, direct speech repeats words as they were said, while reported speech tells them at second hand. In a play, a speech is also the run of lines belonging to one character.
