'Non-content behaviours such as rate of speaking, loudness, tendency to interrupt and pronunciation peculiarities' are referred to as _____________ behaviour.
Extra-linguistic
The features listed, rate of speaking, loudness, tendency to interrupt and peculiarities of pronunciation, are not part of the actual words or content of the message. They accompany speech and concern how something is said rather than what is said. Such non-content vocal features are called extra-linguistic behaviour.
Extra-linguistic (also called paralinguistic) cues include tempo, volume, pitch, pauses, interruptions and articulation habits, they surround and modify the linguistic content without being part of the words themselves. Since the described behaviours all deal with the manner of vocal delivery apart from the message content, extra-linguistic is the precise term.
Extra-personal wrongly suggests something outside the person altogether and is not a recognised category for vocal delivery features. Animated merely describes lively expression and does not capture the specific idea of non-content speech features. Involuntary implies the behaviour is unintentional, but rate, loudness and interruption can be deliberate, so it does not define the category. Therefore the correct label is extra-linguistic behaviour.
Correct answer: Extra-linguistic
