Redirect to:

Paralanguage#Sighs

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into the content of the target page. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
- The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-A '''sigh''' is a kind of [[paralinguistic]] [[respiration]] in the form of a deep and especially audible, single [[exhalation]] of air out of the mouth or nose, that humans use to communicate emotion. It is voiced [[pharyngeal fricative]], sometimes associated with a guttural glottal breath exuded in a low tone.  It often arises from a negative emotion, such as dismay, dissatisfaction, boredom, or futility.<ref name="Broncher">Rachel Broncher, ''A labor of love: a complete guide to childbirth for the mind, body, and soul'' (2004), p. 145.</ref> A sigh can also arise from positive emotions such as [[wikt:relief|relief]],<ref>Paul Ekman, ''Emotions revealed: recognizing faces and feelings to improve communication'' (2007), p. 193.</ref> particularly in response to some negative situation ending or being avoided. Like a [[wikt:gasp|gasp]], a [[yawn]], or a [[moan]], a sigh is often an automatic and unintentional act.<ref name="Broncher"/> In literature, a sigh is often used to signify that the person producing it is lovelorn.

-Scientific studies show that babies sigh after 50 to 100 breaths. This serves to improve the mechanical properties of lung tissue, and it also helps babies to develop a regular breathing rhythm. Behaviors equivalent to sighing have also been observed in animals such as [[dog]]s, [[monkey]]s, and [[horse]]s.

-In text messages and internet chat rooms, or in comic books, a sigh is usually represented with the word itself, 'sigh', possibly within [[asterisks]], *sigh*.
