Abstract

This article explores the linguistic attributes of the "toast" speech genre in English-speaking cultures. It examines the genre's unique structure, including opening salutations, contextual set up, core messages, wishes, and closing gestures. The paper also analyzes the typical language used in toasts, highlighting features like figurative language, positive tone, second-person address, humor, formulaic expressions, and conciseness. Finally, it discusses the influence of cultural norms on toasts, including individualism, collectivism, and tradition.  By understanding these linguistic and cultural influences, speakers can craft impactful and memorable toasts for various occasions.
