Metered speech is a speaking and writing pattern whereby you pause after so many syllables in order to prevent your audience from grasping the full idea of what is being said. Let me demonstrate this for you.
Metered speech, is a speaking, and writing, pattern whereby you pause after so many syllables, in order to prevent your audience from, grasping the full idea, of what is being said. Let me, demonstrate this for you.
It can also be done with matter of fact statements, Dripped one after the next.
This is commonly done by the MSM on news websites.
Typically the articles have no more than 20 sentances in them with no more than 2-3 sentances per paragraph.
They drip the text one line at a time.
Again, the entire point is to cause you to pause for a second before reading or taking in the next point.
This is an incredibly common writing and speaking tactic that's been around since the dark ages if not earlier and was in common use during the fire and brimstone days of the church. The objective of speaking like this is to prevent the cognitive mind from evaluating information by throwing roadblocks in its place, and to get the limbic system to instead keep track of tone and base subject matter.
As a modern example, go listen to Cuomo Appologize for whatever his latest political situation is. Don't listen to the content, just listen to the pacing and delivery. It's all a manufactured production.
If you want a great demonstration, go to any big MSM news site, copy and paste the articles into a text editor and start removing paragraphs and comma's and apply 8th grade writing rules (minimum 3 sentances to a paragraph). Heck go to the article, copy and paste the responses into a text editor and begin removing comma's.
It is important to keep in mind this is a media production tactic they teach in marketing and sales courses and when you see production decisions being made they are clear signals as to the accuracy of the content.
I'm not convinced that metering your speech in this was has a specific, universal effect on an audience. (ie, I dispute the claim that metered speech prevents the audience from comprehending.)
To be clear, I'm equally skeptical that the mainstream media is attempting to deceive people by intentionally adopting this method. But even if they were, I simply don't believe it could be effective.
