Vocal communication

The vowels communication refers to the content-independent aspects of the spoken language . These include u. a. the speaking speed , the speaking melody, the speaking rhythm, speaking pauses and vocal non-content-related utterances such as B. "um".

A special feature of vocal communication compared to communication in written language or machine language is that, in addition to the formal content, it also reflects feelings , personal accents and changed meanings, e.g. B. ironizations , can be transmitted through acoustic modulation.

"Speaking (with one another) is the communicative reciprocal action that
- controlled by the situation
- person
-related
- language-related - form-determined
- bodily performed,
constitutes meaning and triggers actions."

- Hellmut Geißner , 1988
