 Paralanguage is the vocal (but nonverbal)
dimension of speech. It refers to the way you say
something, rather than what you say.
 By stressing different words in a sentence, you can
change the meaning completely without doing
anything to the structure of it.
 Now that looks good on you.
 Could you move any slower?
 That was some meal.

5. Ways of talking
 Rate – speed at which one speaks can have an
effect on the way a message is received. People
speak at rates that vary from 125 words per
minute to 200+ wpm.
 Scholars argue that the faster someone speaks the
more competent they seem. However, the listener
may not be able to understand what the speaker is
saying.
 Pitch – highness and lowness of the voice. Some
people feel high-pitched voices are not very
pleasant, but low-pitched voices are seen as
insecure or shy.
