- Abstract
In this modern world, where we live amid the buzzes of machines and beeps of cell phones, it has become imperative to strike a balance between merely communicating and communicating effectively in order to succeed in a fast changing cross commercial world. Communication today is the buzz word, and effective English communication skills have proved to be a passport to a plethora of opportunities around the globe. However, communication does not mean only expressing our idea, statements and grievances, but it also means effectively disseminating information. To say more precisely, communication is not constricted to language alone, rather its relevance necessitates it to include paralanguage in its ambit. The beauty and benignity of language that differentiates men from animals seeks its nuances in various paralinguistic features, and non-verbal attributes, like expression through face, eyes, space and time, in addition to vocal characteristics. This paper stresses the role and relevance of paralanguage in various communication situations.
