Abstract
Building on insights from the coordination of speech and gesture, the cumulative cue hypothesis proposes that speakers recruit cues from both modalities to signal prominence and that the relationship between the cues is additive as opposed to compensative. The study tests if durational variation is one of the cues that are recruited in this cumulative fashion in accord with gestural cues by analysing three five-minute dialogue chunks of spontaneous Swedish. The results do not indicate a direct covariation of this cue with the presence or absence of gestural cues, pointing instead to a need for further investigation of the role of duration in multimodal prominence production and perception.
