Paralanguage

Paralanguage is a type of communication that uses sounds instead of words to convey meaning. It can include things like the tone of your voice, the pace and volume of your speech, and how you emphasize certain words. This helps you to add emotion and nuance to a conversation. For example, if you are asked a question and you answer in a monotone, it probably means you don't care very much. But if you answer with excitement in your voice, that changes the meaning of the conversation.
