Do we talk in paragraphs?

Factual Questions

I can understand how one might orally distinguish between words by careful enunciation, and between sentences with pauses. How you you, by voice alone, indicate a break between “paragraphs”?

A subtle change of subject, or a pause longer than just a breath or two. A concise argument that has many angles to it. Lots of ways, really. Written paragraphs aren’t there to make things easy to read; they represent a focus on a particular angle of a topic.

I listened closely, and they were definately using paragraphs.

No. I was discrete in my observations. They already scowl at me for laughing at them.

I was conversing with my gf last night over dinner. Breaks between paragraphs were indicated by the chewing of food. :smiley:
