Episode Description

“The important thing to remember is that non verbal acoustic cues serve emotional, attitudinal and social, as well as linguistic, functions; they affect our way of interpreting what people are saying and they affect how we react.”

Tone of voice can have even more impact than the words we use. Having a deeper appreciation not just of what is said but of how it is being said is a vital aspect of becoming a better communicator, in expressing ourselves and in hearing others. In this episode of the podcast we interview linguistics researcher Professor Silke Paulmann and discuss how tone and other non-verbal factors affect how we interpret, and are interpreted by, others.
