Paralanguage refers to the non-verbal elements that accompany spoken language, conveying meaning and emotion. Examples include tone of voice, pitch, volume, speed of speech, and use of pauses. Additionally, non-verbal sounds like laughter, sighs, and vocal fillers (e.g., "um," "uh") also fall under paralanguage, as they can influence the interpretation of the spoken message.
