Abstract
This study examines the interrelationship between linguistic and paralinguistic factors in oral speech from a communicative and pragmalinguistic perspective. It argues that linguistic means (lexical, grammatical, syntactic, and stylistic units) constitute the structural and semantic foundation of speech, while paralinguistic means (intonation, pauses, voice quality, tempo, facial expressions, and gestures) shape its emotional and pragmatic dimensions. The research highlights that effective oral communication emerges from the integration of these two layers within a unified semiotic system. The findings demonstrate that meaning in oral discourse is constructed not only through verbal forms but also through nonverbal and contextual cues.
