Pitch, rate, tone, volume, and speech pattern all fall under the category of paralanguage, which refers to the nonverbal components of speech. Kinesics refers to body language, proxemics refers to the use of space, pseudo-language is not a recognized term, and semiotics is the study of symbols and signs in communication.
