time as linear and always moving ahead (i.e.
things are done one at a time). Under this system
time is scheduled, arranged and managed.

indefinite view of time (i.e. several things can be
done at once). Under this system time is mostly
unstructured.

19. PARALANGUAGE

message; the intangible factors to look into in
verbal communication.

convey different meanings. Different tone of
voice can convey different messages.

useless. Too slow, and you become boring.

than that of a high pitched voice.

• Volume: the amount of words used to say
something. Too much words to describe something
simple can get too confusing.

sentences are consistently spoken and understood.
Inconsistency may occur when there are too many
gaps in between

expectancies about how messages should
sound.

consistent and positive manner in most
