1. Multimodal Analysis of Human Communication
and Interaction
Human-human interaction implies numerous studies to signifi cantly
improve the effi ciency, naturalness and persuasiveness in human-
computer interaction (HCI) systems. But there is still inadequate
knowledge on what and how cues interact in face-to-face interaction.
The complexity of human-human interaction involving the description
of verbal and non-verbal modalities still needs theoretical and empirical
foundations. To achieve this goal, researchers need to develop resources
and tools that enable them to take into account the different modalities.
Verbal, vocal and gestural cues have been studied separately for a long
time. This favored the precise description of the mechanisms and rules
governing each domain. But today the question of how these various
cues in the different modalities are connected, has become important
for linguists.
In this study, we present the perspective adopted in the national
OTIM project (Blache et al., 2009) which aimed to answer some of the
issues raised in multimodality in French face-to-face interactions. To
