Gesture catchments and density in narratives of personal experience
Résumé
The aim of the present paper is to extend the studies on spontaneously produced narratives, that is narratives of personal experience produced in a larger speech context (video-recorded conversations, TV shows, etc.). Although the work is based on a larger collection of narratives, for the sake of clarity, one complex narrative will be presented here and it will be shown that intonation units are probably more adapted than syntactic ones to determine the Labovian phases of a spoken narratives and that both modal density (Norris 2004) and gesture catchments adapt to the complexity of a narrative.
