is intake of breath a prosodic feature?

vcaa examiners reports seem to think so...

i always though they were paralinguistic, like laughter...or is that wrong?

I think paralinguistic features have affect on the utterance (such as laughter and body language, swaying hands) but intake of breath would be an utterance itself would it not? idk lol
