Speech Gestures and the Pragmatic Economy of Oral Expressions in Face-To-Face Interaction

The aim of this paper is to observe whether speech gestures contribute to the pragmatic economy and redundancy of the global utterance. The term speech gestures is used for referring to the visual suprasegmental manifestations of the spoken language in the context of any oral face-to-face interaction. The research is based on the transcriptions of all perceptible behaviour (auditory and visual)in short sequences of videotaped narratives and interactions of children and adults in order to observe how sound and movement work in synergy and are in fact different aspects of the same multimodal speech phenomenon. The richness of the segmental and suprasegmental means of underlie the secret of endless originality and efficiency of the spoken language in the face- to-face interaction.
