In spatial dialog like in direction giving
humans make frequent use of speechaccompanying
gestures. Some gestures
convey largely the same information as
speech while others complement speech.<br>
This paper reports a study on how speakers
distribute meaning across speech and gesture,
and depending on what factors. Utterance
meaning and the wider dialog context
were tested by statistically analyzing
a corpus of direction-giving dialogs. Problems
of speech production (as indicated by
discourse markers and disfluencies), the
communicative goals, and the information
status were found to be influential, while
feedback signals by the addressee do not
have any influence.
