3.23. GS_Rel - Gesture-Speech Relation

3.23.1. Description

Specify the relationship between transcribed speech and gestures

3.23.2. Format

entry       ::=  `code-set` [op `code-set`]*
code-set    ::=  code [`set-op` code]*
code        ::=  add | emphasize | reinforcing | "DA" | "MS" | "UC" | "X"
add         ::=  "ADD" [".err" [".s"] | ".f" | ".met" | ".nr" | ".ns" | ".q" | ".s"]
emphasize   ::=  "E" [".b"]
reinforcing ::=  "RF" [".a" | ".p"]
set-op      ::=  "/"
op          ::=  ";"

3.23.3. Values

GS_Rel codes have the following interpretations:

Code Meaning Description Example
ADD Adding information Gesture adds info to speech such that G+S = one proposition “Cookie” + [give gesture]
ADD.a      
ADD.d      
ADD.err Matching error Gesture and speech refer to same object but one incorrectly labels it (occurs mainly in infants) “Cat” +[point to dog]
ADD.err.s Matching error at sound level Gesture and non-word sound refer to same object but one incorrectly labels it (occurs in infants) “Meow” + [point to dog]
ADD.f Adding info to a filler expression Adding info to a filler expression “OK” + [give gesture]
ADD.met Adding metaphoric Speech adds meaning to metaphoric gesture  
ADD.nr Adding info to unrelated utterance Gestures adds a new proposition or speech and gesture convey unrelated information such that G+S = two propositions “Put the book on the table” + [hold up shoe]
ADD.ns Adding info to unrelated sound Speech adds unrelated meaningful sound “Uh-oh” + [point to cat]
ADD.q Adds info answering a spoken question Gesture provides information (such as location or yes/no info) that answers the question posed in speech

“Where is the bird?” + [point to tree]

“Is this the one?” + [head shake]

ADD.s Adding info to a related sound Speech adds related meaningful sound “Meow” + [point to cat]
DA Disambiguation Gesture disambiguates speech “Put it there” + [point to table]
E Emphasizes w/o beat Gestures that act like discourse markers by emphasizing what is said “Hard to decide” + [head shake]
E.b Emphasizes with beat Hand, arm, or head movements where the gesture stroke syncronizes with emphasis in speech “What I’m SAYING is” + [hand beat on “saying”]
ELAB.a *      
ELAB.b *      
FA      
MS * Adds to a meaningless sound Gesture is accompanied by a meaningless sound (almost only occurs in infants) “Da!” + [hold up toy truck]
RF Reinforcing Gesture reinforces the info provided in speech “Cat” + [point to cat]
RF.a Reinforcing attribute Gesture reinfoces an adjective in speech describing perceptual features “Here is a blue one” + [point to blue block]
RF.d      
RF.met      
RF.p Reinforcing predicate Gesture reinforces the spoken predicate describing an action the referenced object performs “Crying” + [point to crying baby in book]
UC Unclear relationship The gloss for the gesture does not provide enough info or the speech is indecipherable “I want ###” + [point to toy]
X No speech Gesture is produced on its own [point to desired object]

Warning

Codes marked with * are considered deprecated in Erica’s Second Tier Gesture Annotation

Ops have the following interpretations:
