Mouth/Hand Interaction in the Production of Prosodic Focus
Résumé
The aim of this study is to characterize the interaction between speech and manual gestures in the production of prosodic focus. Prosodic focus consists in putting forward a word or a group of words within an utterance or discourse. It can actually be considered as a form of pointing towards the part of the utterance bearing the important information. In that sense, it is naturally close to manual pointing. We would like to address several key questions: (1) Is coordination between speech and hand related to the gesture produced (communicative vs. non communicative)? (2) Is coordination between speech and hand dependent on the type of communicative gesture (deictic vs. non deictic)? (3) For the pointing gesture, is the coordination dependent on the correspondence between what speech focuses and what the hand shows?
