Definition
Existing or occurring outside of language; referring to non-verbal elements like tone, body language, or context that affect communication.
Etymology
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'linguistic' (relating to language, from 'lingua' meaning tongue). Linguists developed this term in the 20th century to study how meaning extends beyond words.
Kelly Says
Extralinguistic cues like a person's facial expression, posture, and voice tone actually communicate more meaning than the words themselves—which is why tone in text messages causes so much confusion!
