Paralinguistics is the study of speech. Paralinguistics is a form of non verbal communication which is separate to body language but comes under the same umbrella as body language which is non verbal communication. Then there is speech which is the verbal spoken word which is verbal communication itself.

Paralinguistics Cues are made of contributing factors such as;

  • Volume (Is the voice low or is it loud when speaking? Do they appear confident, sad, happy or angry? Te volume supports the spoken dialogue which in turn is illustrated by body language gestures)
  • Pitch (pitch can be low or high and a good example of this is seen when a teacher is reading a story to children to emphasise and communicate meaning)
  • Inflection/ Tone (inflection is the variation in the change of pitch to create meaning)
  • Speed (rate of speech)
  • Intensity (humour, monotony, anger, sadness adds intensity to speech)
  • Silence (emphasising a point or asking a question and using silence to generate impact to the spoken word)
  • Quality (clearly spoken or a husky voice)

Hope that helps.
