Document Summary
The purpose of nonverbal behaviour: our conversation of gestures enable individuals to align their behaviour and to sanction each other in ways that facilitate cooperation, or, if desired, to initiate more antagonistic relations (john turner). What is paralanguage: this word can sometimes indicate all nonverbal communication. Paralanguage includes those sounds made by the human voice. That compliments what"s being said: think about how particular voice styles or vocal cues that you are familiar with have common, culture-wide judgements associated with them, not just an addition to the spoken language. It can and often does change the meaning of the words used. It is almost impossible to separate language from its paralinguistic elements. Prosing- the sounds of stating the words with different emphasis. It is sometimes possible to predict what a person is about to say by just hearing the paralinguistic introduction. 7% of a person"s attitude/emotion is verbally conveyed.
