A quick definition of pure speech:

Pure speech is when someone expresses their thoughts or opinions using spoken words. This type of speech is given the most protection under the law. It is different from commercial speech, which is when someone talks about something to do with business, and symbolic speech, which is when someone expresses their thoughts or opinions through actions instead of words. Hate speech, which is when someone says something to express hatred towards a particular group, is not protected under the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Pure speech refers to the expression or communication of thoughts or opinions in spoken words. It is given the greatest constitutional protection and is not limited by commercial interests or corporate sources. Examples of pure speech include political speeches, religious sermons, and personal conversations.

On the other hand, hate speech is speech that expresses hatred for a particular group and is likely to provoke violence. It is not protected under the First Amendment. Commercial speech, such as advertising and marketing, is also afforded lesser protection than pure speech.

Symbolic speech is conduct that expresses opinions or thoughts, such as a hunger strike or wearing a black armband. It does not enjoy the same constitutional protection as pure speech.

Overall, pure speech is the most protected form of speech and includes any spoken expression of thoughts or opinions.
