PARA
LANGUAGE
By
para,
we
mean
"like". Hence
para
language is like language.
It
implies
how
a
person
says
something.
It
is
non-verbal
because
it
does
not
consist
of
words.
In
paa
language
we
examine
the
sound
of
someone
speech.
Para
language
includes
tone
of
voice,
pitch,
rhythm,
volume,
pause
or
break
in
a
sentence
etc.
This
language
influence
meaning
and
convey
a
message
on
careful
observation
we
find
that
a
speaker
uses
a
vast
range
of
sign
and
signal.
Voice
Voice
is the first signal
that
we
receive
or
use.
It
tells
us
so
much about
the
Speaker
sex,
background,
education, training
and
temperament.
The
clearer
the
voice
more
eftective
the
communication.
One
must
care
of
the
following
points
in
the
use
of
voice.
(a)
Pitch
Variation:
Most
of
us
introduce
wide
variation
in
pitch
while
speaking
These
variations
are
necessary
to
catch
business
attention
e.g.
speaking
at
length
on
the
same
level
of
pitch
makes
the
speech
MONOTONOUS'
or
Boring.
One
good
way
to
improve
a
pitch
variation
is
to
observe
other
speaking
and
to
benefit
through
their
suggestions.
(b)
Speaking
Speed:
We
speak
at
different
speed
on
different
occasion
and
while
conveying
different
parts
of
a
message.
As
a
general
rule,
we
should
present
the
easy
of
a
message
at
a
brisk
pace
(very
fast
speed)
and
difficult,
complicated
and
highly
technical
part
of
message
at
a
slower
pace.
(c)
Pause
:
The
speaking speed
is
also
accompanied
by
pauses.
We
can
not
and
should
not
go
on
speaking
without
pausing.
Incorrect
use
of
pauses
can
create
problems.
Pause
can
be
highly
effective
in
emphasizing
the
upcoming subject
and
in
gaining
the
listener
attention.
(d)
Volume
Variation
: A speech
should
be
loud
enough
to
the
audience,
not
to
loud
to
put
them
off.
The
loudness
of
a
voice
should
be
adjusted
according
to
the
size
of
the
audience,
volume
variations
put
life
into
speaking.
(e)
Non-fluencies
:
Utterances
like
OH', 'AH,
YOU
KNOW,
'OK
etc.
are
al
known
as
non-fluencies.
They
give
the
speaker,
breathing
(space
filler)
and
the
audience
time
to
think
over
but
has
been
said
(grasp
breaks).
Advantages
of
Para
Language
1.
From
para
language,
we
can
clearly
guess
the
speakers
educational
bacs
ground.
2.
Since para language is
closely
allied
to
language,
so
it is necessary
to
complee
the
oral
message.
3.
From
para
language,
one
can
easily
guess
the
importance
of
speaker
in
t
hierarchy.
4.
Para
language
has
important
value.
A
careful
listener
can
learn
a
lot
from
orator
or
effective
speaker.
Disadvantages
of
Para
Language
1.
It
is
a non-verbal
part
of communication and is like a language
but
language.
Hence,
we
cannot
rely
upon
it.
2.
Para
language
may
sometimes
misguide
or
mislead.
Because
what
is
said
3
how
it
is
said
must
be
blended.
In
this
process,
it
requires
extra
care
to
get
the
es
content
of
the
message.
