Although paralanguage falls under the nonverbal heading within the study of communication, it is in fact verbal. These audio clips give specific examples of a variety of different kinds of paralanguage that you might hear everyday. It is funny to think that our communication is compiled of much more than words. After you listen to a few of these examples, ask yourself what element of paralanguage you use the most. I'm big into sighing. Some paralanguage studies suggest that means I'm never satisfied and that I've always got something on my mind. I'd agree. What does your paralanguage say about you?
