Research Methodology
Study of Human Body Language
Objective of the Research
To find out if people consciously use the body language and other paralinguistic cues to aid their speech.
Methodology Descriptive
Research Questioning Approach was followed. A structured and nondisguised questionnaire was used for a sample size of 100. Questionnaire was based on the Likert Scale
Research Design
A survey of common people with the help of structured questionnaire was conducted. In view of time and cost constraints, a sample size of 100 was considered sufficient.
Secondary Reseaech Major
source of secondary data collection
was the internet. Following were the observations. Paralanguage
refers to the non-verbal elements
of communication used to modify meaning and convey emotion. Paralanguage may be expressed consciously or unconsciously, and it includes the pitch, volume and, in some cases, intonation of speech. The study of paralanguage is known as paralinguistic's.
The paralinguistic properties of speech play an important role in human speech communication. There are no utterances or speech signals that lack paralinguistic properties, since speech requires the presence of a voice that can be modulated. This voice must have some properties, and all the properties of a voice as such are paralinguistic.
Expressive
aspects
The properties of the voice and the way of speaking are affected by emotions and attitudes. Typically, attitudes are expressed intentionally and emotions without intention, but attempts to fake or to hide emotions are not unusual. Expressive variation is central to paralanguage. It affects loudness, speaking rate, pitch, pitch range and, to some extent, also the formant frequencies.
Hypothesis

Alternative Hypothesis(H1): Most People use paralinguistic cues to bolster the effect of what they are
