Multidimensional labeling of gesture in communication: the M3D proposal

Communication is multimodal in that speakers use not only their voices, but also co-speech gestures to communicate. Recent insights suggest that gestural behavior has a strong association with prosodic structure and that a single gesture can communicate various semantic and pragmatic meanings. This...

Recent insights suggest that gestural behavior has a strong association with prosodic structure and that a single gesture can communicate various semantic and pragmatic meanings. This highlights the importance of developing a comprehensive, flexible, and transparent approach to gesture annotation that accounts for multiple dimensions of gesture, including a gesture's form, prosodic properties, and semantic and pragmatic contributions. To address this need for an increasingly dimensionalized approach to multimodal data annotation, the main goal of this paper is to present and describe a novel labeling system for manual gestures. The MultiModal MultiDimensional (M3D) system consists of an open access package that has been developed in coordination with five different labs working on gesture and its interaction with speech. The package includes a set of reliable annotation guidelines, a validated training program, and two annotated audiovisual corpora that represent over 60 minutes of lecture-style speech.This work was partially funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Grants numbers PID2021-123823NB-I00, PID2020-115385GA-I00, PGC2018-097007-B-I00), the Pla de Recerca de Catalunya from the Generalitat de Catalunya (Grant numbers 2017 SGR_971 and 2021 SGR 00922) and the GEHM (Gesture and Head Movements in Language) Research Network, funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (grant number 9055-00004B).Springer2026202620252026info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10230/73455http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s41701-025-00197-2reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésCorpus Pragmatics. 2025 Dec;9(4):411-33info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/2PE/PID2021-123823NB-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/2PE/PID2020-115385GA-I00info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/2PE/PGC2018-097007-B-I00This article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which permits use, sharing, adaptation, distribution and reproduction in any medium or format, as long as you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons licence, and indicate if changes were made.
