%0 Journal Article %T A multimodal analysis of the sequential organization of verbal and nonverbal interaction %A Abuczki %A ¨¢gnes %J Argumentum %D 2011 %I Debrecen University Press %X The paper addresses the study of the formal features of conversation from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective. In particular, following the framework and terminology of Sacks, Schlegoff and Jefferson (1974), turn-taking and sequencing are designated ¡®formal¡¯ features of interaction. Furthermore, the study adopts and fits into the framework of the theoretical modelling of human¨Ccomputer interaction (HCI), as outlined in Hunyadi (2011). After reviewing the theoretical background of the multimodal analysis of conversation, a communicative act-based pragmatic annotation system will be outlined which is to contribute to a better understanding of the sequential organization of interaction. Finally, a case study on the sequential organization of nonverbal cues for turn regulation as well as their alignment with verbal content will be described. %K multimodal analysis of conversation %K pragmatic annotation system %K turn management %K nonverbal communication %K human¨Ccomputer interaction %U http://argumentum.unideb.hu/2011-anyagok/works/AbuczkiA.pdf
