Multimodal creativity in speech-gesture production (C02)

• Subject Area: Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 512393437

C02 examines multimodal creativity in speech–gesture production and targets the underlying processes by investigating how creativity in language is enabled or constrained by being combined with the gestural modality and how this interplay is further conditioned by communicative or cognitive demands. We will identify patterns of multimodal creativity by combining behavioural experiments with psycholinguistic and computational AI modelling. The ultimate goal is to develop a cognitive-computational model that accounts for general mechanisms and processes of multimodal creativity.
