Word of the mouth means

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Word of mouth, also called viva voce, is the passing of information from person to person using oral communication, which could be as simple as telling someone the time of day.[1] Storytelling is a common form of word-of-mouth communication where one person tells others a story about a real event or something made up. Oral tradition is cultural material and traditions transmitted by word of mouth through successive generations. Storytelling and oral tradition are forms of word of mouth that play important roles in folklore and mythology. Another example of oral communication is oral history—the recording, preservation and interpretation of historical information, based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker. Oral history preservation is the field that deals with the care and upkeep of oral history materials collected by word of mouth, whatever format they may be in.

Storytelling[edit]

Storytelling often involves improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and in order to instill moral values.

The earliest forms of storytelling were thought to have been primarily oral combined with gesture storytelling for many of the ancient cultures.[2] The Australian Aboriginal people painted symbols from stories on cave walls as a means of helping the storyteller remember the story. The story was then told using a combination of oral narrative, music, rock art, and dance.[3]

Traditionally, oral stories were committed to memory and then passed from generation to generation. However, in literate societies, written, televised, and internet media have largely replaced this method of communicating local, family, and cultural histories. Oral storytelling remains the dominant medium of learning in some countries with low literacy rates.

Oral tradition[edit]

Oral tradition (sometimes referred to as «oral culture» or «oral lore») is cultural material and traditions transmitted orally from one generation to another.[4][5] The messages or testimony are verbally transmitted in speech or song and may take the form, for example, of folktales, sayings, ballads, songs, or chants. In this way, it is possible for a society to transmit oral history, oral literature, oral law and other knowledges across generations without a writing system.

Sociologists emphasize a requirement that the material is held in common by a group of people, over several generations, and thus distinguish oral tradition from testimony or oral history.[6] In a general sense, «oral tradition» refers to the transmission of cultural material through vocal utterance, and was long held to be a key descriptor of folklore (a criterion no longer rigidly held by all folklorists).[7] As an academic discipline, it refers both to a set of objects of study and a method by which they are studied[8]—the method may be called variously «oral traditional theory», «the theory of Oral-Formulaic Composition» and the «Parry-Lord theory» (after two of its founders). The study of oral tradition is distinct from the academic discipline of oral history,[9] which is the recording of personal memories and histories of those who experienced historical eras or events.[10] It is also distinct from the study of orality, which can be defined as thought and its verbal expression in societies where the technologies of literacy (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population.[11]

Oral history[edit]

Oral history is the recording of personal memories and histories of those who experienced historical eras or events.[10] Oral history is a method of historical documentation, using interviews with living survivors of the time being investigated. Oral history often touches on topics scarcely touched on by written documents, and by doing so, fills in the gaps of records that make up early historical documents. Oral history preservation is the field that deals with the care and upkeep of oral history materials, whatever format they may be in.[12]

Systems[edit]

Long-established systems using word-of-mouth include:

  • the «grapevine»
  • the salon
  • the «bush telegraph»[13]
  • the lecture circuit
  • preaching[14]

Orally. This phrase dates from the sixteenth century and persists to the present, though simply “orally” would be more direct. “A little message unto hir by worde of mouth,” wrote Nicholas Udall in Ralph Roister Doister (ca. 1553), presumably differentiating it from a written message.

    реклама «из уст в уста»
    Реклама, передаваемая удовлетворенным приобретением товара/услуги своим близким, друзьям или просто людям, стоящим рядом с ним в очереди за мороженым. Строго говоря, это не является истинной рекламой, поскольку настоящая реклама всегда оплачивается рекламодателем. Этот полезный жизненный опыт делает видом рекламы тот факт, что все, услышавшие сообщение, могут быть потенциальными потребителями этого товара или услуги. Большинство западных специалистов по маркетингу считают word-of-mouth самым эффективным видом рекламы и заявляют, что в некоторых случаях «изустная реклама» играет более важную роль при принятии решения о покупке, чем реклама в СМИ. Это особенно верно в отношении некоторых продуктов питания и предметов личного пользования. Как ни парадоксально, сложностью в использовании word-of-mouth является сложность ее использования. Важнейшую роль в формировании положительного мнения о продукте/услуге играет его/ее качество. Для того чтобы харизматичная дама с красивыми глазами, отмачивая ногти в маникюрном кабинете, упомянула своим гламурным соседкам о вчерашнем посещении «восхитительного массажиста Василия Ивановича», необходимо, чтобы услуги этого Василия были по меньшей мере качественными.

Have you ever bought something or taken a chance on a service based solely on word of mouth? You may not have even known you did it if you don’t understand what the phrase “word of mouth” means. I’ve got some insight into this common saying, so read on and learn for yourself!

What Does Word of Mouth Mean?

Word of Mouth Usage Origin Meaning

“Word of mouth” refers to the communication of certain info from one person to another by spoken words. It’s when you tell another person about your experience with a product, service, or even a location.

“Word of mouth” is a really powerful marketing tool because it’s based on trust and personal recommendation. Most people are more likely to take a chance on something if a person they know recommends it rather than being influenced by advertising.

In my world of book publishing, I know for a fact that readers are far more likely to take a chance on my books if another reader suggests it rather than buy my books based on paid advertising like Facebook ads.

Is It “Word of Mouth” or “Words of Mouth”?

Let’s clear up the correct way to say the phrase. It’s “word of mouth,” not “words of mouth” or even “word to mouth.”

The use of the singular “word” encompasses the collective information being communicated, while “mouth” is how it’s transmitted.

So, it’s not multiple words coming out of multiple mouths but a single piece of information being passed along from one person’s mouth to someone’s ears.

Just think of the phrase “word on the street.” It doesn’t mean just a single word. It’s a slang way of asking “what’s being said amongst the people.”

Is “Word of Mouth” Hyphenated?

No, “word of mouth” isn’t supposed to be hyphenated unless you’re modifying the noun after it. Otherwise, it’s a two-word phrase that’s usually written without the use of a hyphen.

  • I prefer word-of-mouth recommendations over paid marketing efforts.
  • Do you listen to word of mouth when looking for new products?

The Origin of the Phrase “Word of Mouth”

The idiomatic saying dated all the way to 1533 and was used to define the act of speaking and actually derived from the Old English word “mop,” aka mouth.

Some say it came from the Medieval Latin term viva voce, which means with the living voice. It was first used in English around the 16th century.

The phrase itself was coined for modern usage by mathematician and statistician George Silverman after conducting a focus group test.

  • Word-of-mouth advertising is the way to go these days with so much competition in the paid ads market. 
  • We used to get word-of-mouth knowledge from our elders, but now we get it from Google. 

Word of Mouth Is King

So, whether you’re looking for a new product or service or trying to sell something of your own, the word-of-mouth basis has been preferred by people for centuries because it invokes a sense of trust. “Well, they liked it, so it must be good.” Just remember to hyphenate the saying if you’re using it to modify the noun after it, like “word-of-mouth networks.”

The origin of the phrase can be traced back to 1533 when the Oxford English Dictionary noted its first written occurrence. It was defined as the act of speaking, which is when information is passed from one person to another by the use of speech. Basically, it is what we call oral communication. The etymology of the phrase is from the Old English word “mop,” meaning “mouth,” so “word of mouth” is speech that is directly communicated from one person’s mouth to the ears of another. At its most basic, it can be said to be interpersonal communication through oral speech.

The use of word of mouth mostly occurs in informal settings, and therefore, people trust the information that is usually straight from the mouths of their family and friends. Most businesses and reputations are built and destroyed by word of mouth.
