Speech stamps

Speech stamps - this is a figurative name of lexically inferior words and phrases, which strongly overload the speech of the speaker and represent hackneyed expressions. Examples of speech stamps - "at this stage", "the event was covered," etc. In addition, all the jaded metaphors and other means of figurative speech can also be attributed to this category - "source of inspiration", "azure sky", etc. Initially they were bright and imaginative, but eventually became stereotyped.

A worn-out speech stamp: the more dangerous?

Stamps make speech inexpressive and meager. Instead of imagery and persuasiveness, stamps fill speech with words in which an expressive color is erased. Strange as it may seem, journalists with such expressions are "sinning" with such expressions, whose speech must be bright and interesting in its essence. Practically in any edition you will find such stamps as "black gold" (coal), "big oil" (a lot of oil), "white coats" (doctors). Use of ready-made turns in texts, which need imagery and brightness, reduces the quality of information delivery.

In a more narrow understanding, the cliches include such stereotyped expressions inherent in the official business style, as "today", "at this stage," etc. They are recommended to be avoided, except when they are really needed.

Speech stamps and clericalisms

Speech stamps are similar to chancelleries, which also overwhelm speech. Chancellarism is out of place Used expressions from the official business style. These include phrases like "today I had lunch on a free basis," "there is a shortage of teaching staff," "finished sewing my dress" or "reporting has been verified," etc.

Speech stamps and clichés

Distinguish from the stamps followed by a cliche (language standards) - special turns that are easy to use in certain conditions. Thanks to him, you can clearly and clearly express your thoughts and save time. These include the expressions: "employment service", "according to information from informed sources", "employees of the budgetary sphere", etc.

In contrast to the other two categories of words considered, it is useful to use cliches in speech. They help you easily find the definition of repetitive phenomena, are easy to reproduce, make it easy to construct official speech and, most importantly, save the speech efforts, time and energy of the speaking (writing) person.
