ORAGE '98 - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

SPEECH and GESTURE in multi-modal communication and interaction
Besancon, 9-11 December 1998 - Official Languages : English,
French.


Le principe de ce colloque est issu des travaux du groupe de recherche
"geste et voix", dont le but est de montrer quelles sont les relations
entre les phenomenes vocaux et gestuels dans la communication. Nous
esperons regrouper des chercheurs concernes par ces modalites, quel
que soit leur domaine specifique de recherche, et etablir ainsi de
nouveaux liens pour le developpement des etudes en ethologie
humaine.

The underlying principle governing this Conference springs from the
studies of the Research group "Geste et voix" ("Gesture and Voice")
which has been investigating the relationships between speech sounds
and gestures in human communication. Since the objective of this
Conference is to have an interdisciplinary impact, all researchers
interested in these modalities are welcome whatever their specific
field of research. It is our wish that working partnerships be
established that may contribute to further development in human
ethology.
