Paralanguage is the area of non-verbal communication that emphasizes body language and voice nuances as means of expressing thoughts and feelings.

Paralinguistic
• Paralinguistic is the study of voice and how words are said. When you open your mouth to speak, you reveal much about yourself that often has nothing at all to do with the words you are speaking.
• Paralinguistics refers to vocal communication that is separate from actual language. This includes factors such as tone of voice, loudness, inflection and pitch.

Paralinguistic Communication
• Being more aware of the subtle nuances of verbal communication can contribute significantly to better conversation and will promote a deeper understanding and connection with others as you become a more active speaker and listener.

Paralinguistics include:









Volume of voice
Speed of voice
Intonation
Tone
Pronunciation
Articulation
Pause
Punctuation marks

 Volume of voice :
It is not just, what you say ; it is how you say it. When you whisper something, it conveys that you want to hide something. When speaking something aloud, you want it to be heard by all. Moreover, the way whisper or say things aloud conveys something.
While addressing an audience, if your volume is not loud enough, it suggest lack of confidence or shyness. While talking to someone on phone your speaking loudly is suggestive of your lack of good manners and etiquette as well as irritable.

 Speed of voice :
The speed of voice should be such that the listener can follow everything that you are speaking.
If you are speak very fast, they may not connect the previous idea with the next one. Moreover, in live talk they can’t even rewind. Similarly, if the speed is very slow

We all have certain goals, standards, and expectations of ourselves. Not everyone will figure out what they want to be right away, and some will know from the very beginning.
