This paper investigates the notion of precision in cognition and communication, it overviews the gestures conveying precision analysed in the literature on multimo- dality and provides an analysis of the precision gesture of the beak in a corpus of oral university examinations. Based on a corpus of transcribed Italian real speech, a linguistic analysis is also proposed of the beak’s lexical affiliates (the adverbs esclu- sivamente, proprio, appunto) and of their possible meanings.

Abstract

This paper investigates the notion of precision in cognition and communication, it overviews the gestures conveying precision analysed in the literature on multimo- dality and provides an analysis of the precision gesture of the beak in a corpus of oral university examinations. Based on a corpus of transcribed Italian real speech, a linguistic analysis is also proposed of the beak’s lexical affiliates (the adverbs esclu- sivamente, proprio, appunto) and of their possible meanings.
