“…This idea, based on the Austinian theoretical framework, is developed within the Language into Act Theory designed by Emanuela Cresti (Cresti 2000). Taking into consideration the pragmatic value of gestures argued by scholars (Kendon 2004); (Müller, Ladewig, and Bressem 2013); (Loehr 2014); (Cienki 2017), ), we found necessary to extend this notion to gesture analysis. However, this approach raises the issue of speech flow segmentation.…”

“…Loehr showed that gesture and prosody are tightly connected, both channelsgesture and speechwork together to construct discourse and to regulate interaction. This relationship was found either in production and perception, in all ages, and in dozens of languages (Loehr 2007) (Loehr 2014). We want to unify the L-AcT annotationthat emphasize the intonation's role in the speech with the gesture's architecture designed by Kendon that offers an important gesture's structure composed of the single unit and phase of gestural movement (Kendon 1972).…”

Modeling dialogue implies detecting natural interaction. A pragmatic approach allows to consider the linguistic act composed of several and different features interacting with each other. Data collected for this project comprises three different genres of communication: monological, dialogical and conversational. The project aims to identify and analyze the pragmatic value of multimodal communication spotting the linguistic actions which carry out illocution values. We draw a pragmatic approach to study multimodal interaction combining the L-AcT annotation (Cresti 2000) with the gesture's architecture designed by Kendon (Kendon 2004). The annotation system is designed to divide the speech units (utterance, intonation units and illocution types) (Hart, Collier, and Cohen 2006) (Cresti 2005) (Moneglia and Raso 2014) from gestural units (Gesture Unit, Gesture Phrase, Gesture Phase). Keeping the Gesture Unit as a superior macrounit at the other gestural units only for the quantitative purpose, we realize a matching between gesture and speech units. These units work together to form the communicative intention of the speaker that can be recognizable by the Illocution Type. This annotation system leads to understanding how speakers realize multimodal linguistic actions and how different modalities work.

“…The data treatment required also poses a constraint to multimodal data, regarding the time employed to select, edit, transcribe, and annotate the overwhelming amount of information that comes up in a recorded situation. When Loehr (2004Loehr ( , 2014 gave his first steps in this direction, he pointed out that annotation could take up to one hour per second of data:…”
