Human communication in face-to-face conversations is inherently multimodal, combining spoken language with a plethora of multimodal cues including hand gestures. Although most of our understanding of human language comes from unimodal research, the multimodal literature suggests that hand gestures are produced in close synchrony to speech prosody, aligning for instance with stressed syllables in free-stress languages like English. Furthermore, prosody plays a vital role in spoken word recognition in many languages, influencing core cognitive processes involved in speech perception, such as lexical activation, segmentation, and recognition.
