Laboratory Phonology uses speech data to research questions about the abstract categorical structures of phonology. This collection of papers broadly addresses three such questions: what structures underlie the temporal coordination of articulatory gestures? What is the proper role of segments and features in phonological description? And what structures - hierarchical or otherwise - relate morphosyntax to prosody? In order to encourage the interdisciplinary understanding required for progress in this field, each of the three groups of papers is preceded by a tutorial paper (commissioned for this volume) on theories and findings presupposed by some or all of the papers in the group. In addition, most of the papers are followed by commentaries, written by noted researchers in phonetics and phonology, which serve to bring important theoretical and methodological issues into perspective. Most of the material collected here is based on papers presented at the Second Conference on Laboratory Phonology in Edinburgh, 1989. The volume is therefore a sequel to Kingston and Beckman's Papers in Laboratory Phonology I, also published by Cambridge University Press.

Speakers naturally accompany their speech with hand gestures and extend the auditory prosody to visual modality through rapid beat gestures that help them to structure their narrative and emphasize relevant information. The present thesis aimed to investigate beat gestures and their neural correlates on the listener's side. We developed a naturalistic approach combining political discourse presentations with neuroimaging techniques (ERPs, EEG and fMRI) and behavioral measures. The main findings of the thesis first revealed that beat-speech processing engaged language-related areas, suggesting that gestures and auditory speech are part of the same language system. Second, the presence of beats modulated the auditory processing of affiliated words around their onsets and later at phonological stages. We concluded that listeners perceive beats as visual prosody and rely on their predictive value to anticipate relevant acoustic cues of their corresponding words, engaging local attentional processes.

What is gesture and what does it do? What is the meaning of multimodality? What do these concepts signify within the different theoretical approaches to interaction and communication among human beings? Why do we study gesture and multimodality? The thirteen chapters that make up this volume provide answers to these questions. They bring together an eclectic set of recent studies on visible bodily actions conducted by junior and senior researchers and are a testimony to the curiosity and vitality that have always distinguished gesture studies. This young yet rapidly growing field investigates the semiotic features of gesture in relation to speech as integral parts of utterances, the different uses of gestures with and without speech, such as gestures in language acquisition, gestures in the performing arts (music, dance, theatre) and gestures in Artificial Intelligence.

Abstract: "Although recognition of natural speech and gestures have been studied extensively, previous attempts of combining them for multimodal Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) were mostly semantically motivated, e.g., keyword-gesture co-analysis. Such top-down co-analysis for improving gesture recognition is associated with the inherent complexity of natural language processing and is not always suitable for real-time HCI. This paper explores prosodic phenomena of spontaneous gesture and speech production and presents a computational framework for improving the recognition of continuous gestures. Prosody based co-analysis of audio and visual signal is investigated at two different levels, namely, physiological and articulation. Physiological constraints are defined in a feature-based integration framework using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). Co-articulation is analyzed using a Bayesian belief network of naïve classifiers to explore alignment of intonationally [sic] prominent speech segments and hand velocity. A weighted fusion scheme is applied for combining the decisions of the two co-analysis models. It was found that both levels of co-analyses uniquely contribute in detection and disambiguation of kinematically defined gesture primitives, which subsequently improves the performance of continuous gesture recognition. The efficacy of the proposed approach was demonstrated on a large database collected from the Weather Channel broadcast. This formulation opens new avenues for bottom-up frameworks for inclusion of natural gesticulation for HCI."

Studies in Interactional Linguistics have provided impressive evidence of the systematic use of vocal, verbal, and visual resources in social interaction. While members of the field have discussed what role these resources play in a grammar of social interaction, they have focused primarily on lexico-syntactic structures. The contributions to the present volume, however, focus on prosody and embodiment, exploring the role prosody plays in interactional meaning-making and how visual-spatial resources such as gesture and gaze relate to the use of verbal and vocal resources. This volume includes contributions on Danish, English, French, German, and Swedish interaction, with a primary focus on Interactional Linguistics and additional work from multimodal corpora. This volume will be of theoretical and methodological interest to readers with a background in Linguistics, Conversation Analysis, and multimodal corpora.
