A quick definition of speech:

Speech: Speaking your thoughts or opinions out loud. It can be protected by the law, but some types of speech, like advertising, may have less protection. Hate speech, which is speech that expresses hatred towards a group of people, is not allowed if it could lead to violence. Pure speech, which is just saying what you think, is protected the most. Symbolic speech, like wearing a black armband to show your opinion, is not protected as much as pure speech. In English law, speech can also mean an opinion given by a Law Lord, and in parliamentary law, it means one statement made by one member during a debate.

A more thorough explanation:

Speech is the act of expressing thoughts or opinions through spoken words. It can take many forms and have different levels of protection under the law.

  • Commercial speech: Advertising and marketing that promotes a product or service. This type of speech has less protection under the First Amendment than other types of speech.
  • Pure speech: Words or conduct that are necessary to convey an idea. This type of speech has the greatest constitutional protection.
  • Seditious speech: Speech that advocates for the violent overthrow of the government. This type of speech is not protected under the law.
  • Symbolic speech: Conduct that expresses opinions or thoughts, such as a protest or wearing a black armband. This type of speech has less protection than pure speech.

These examples illustrate how speech can take different forms and have different levels of protection under the law. It is important to understand the different types of speech and their legal implications.
