Beat gestures and prosodic domain marking in French

Résumé

It is widely held that co-speech gestures are produced in a coordinated fashion with prosodic prominence [11, 17]. Studies have shown that gesture strokes and apexes tend to be temporally executed in conjunction with pitch accentuation [8,15, 21, 6, among others]. Fewer studies have looked at beat gestures as prosodic domain markers, as in French where pitch accentuation can serve a demarcative function on the Accentual Phrase (AP) domain. Prosodic and gestural analyses of an 18-minute long academic-style discourse were carried out, with the goal of exploring the relationship between beat gesture production and prosodic structure in French, where pitch accents have a demarcative function. Our findings show that beat gesture apexes were aligned with pitch accented syllables at much lower rates than previously observed, those that did align prosodically tended to align with AP-final accents, and finally those that did not align tended to occur in AP-initial positions.
