Paralanguage refers to nonverbal elements of communication that modify or convey meaning through vocal properties like pitch, volume, and intonation. It was first studied by George Trager in the 1950s. His work established paralinguistics as a field and examined how paralanguage differs across cultures. Key aspects of paralanguage include perspectival, organic, and expressive elements. Specific forms of paralinguistic respiration include gasps, sighs, moans, groans, throat clearing, and utterances like "mhm" and "huh?". (责任编辑：) |
