Abstract

Multimodal communication involves multiple communicative channels including speech, facial movement, and gesture. Relatively few studies on how various communicative modalities are aligned in natural, face-to-face communication
exist. As part of a larger project, the current study investigates how discourse structure, speech features, eye gaze, and facial movements interrelate during a map coordination task. The study thereby sheds light on multimodal communication in humans and gives guidelines for the development of
embodied conversational agents.
