Verbally Assisted Comprehension of Haptic Line-Graphs: Referring Expressions in a Collaborative Activity
Graphs are successful means to present data, in both tasks that of analyzing and that of communicating data. In addition to text-graph documents, in many professional communication and instruction settings, graphs, language, and often gestures accompany each other forming multimodal communication. In the present study, we investigate referring expressions used in a collaborative joint activity ...
متن کاملGesture and Language Production in Communication through Bar Graphs
Bar graphs and line graphs are commonly used ways of graphical communication. Due to the difference in their perceptual visuo-spatial properties, they facilitate comprehension of different events. Bar graphs are commonly used in the domain of precipitation although the data intrinsically carry information that is averaged over long time spans. In this study, we investigate how the presence of i...
متن کاملClassification Tree Diagrams in Health Informatics Applications
This work in progress study presents a syntactic-level analysis of gestures in communication through annotated line graphs in time domain. As distinct from the gesture analysis at discourse level, the syntactic gesture analysis is based on solely physical properties of the gestures, such as direction, size or position. The results revealed strong relationship between gestures, verbal descriptio...
متن کاملAlignment in Dialogue: Effects of Visual versus Verbal-feedback
It has been shown that restrictions on feedback in communicative tasks have an important impact on how speakers ground their communicative acts and the effectiveness of their communication. Generally speaking, the more interlocutors are allowed to interact, the quicker they solve communicative tasks, and the quicker they converge at a linguistic level on referring expressions for objects under ...
متن کاملTowards a systematic understanding of graphical cues in communication through statistical graphs
Statistical graphs—in particular, line graphs and bar graphs—are efficient means of communication in a wide range of non-expert settings. In communication settings, statistical graphs do not only serve as visualizations of individual data points but also provide visual access to various aspects of the information contained in data. Moreover, specific types of graphs are better means for providi...
