In diesem Projekt wird das Zusammenspiel von prosodischer Prominenz, Diskursprominenz und interaktionaler Prominenz in ihrer Rolle als strukturgebende Prinzipien in dyadischen Gesprächen untersucht. Wir vergleichen u.a. das Verhalten von autistischen und nicht-autistischen Individuen und von Muttersprachler:innen und Nicht-Muttersprachler:innen. In verschiedenen Gesprächskontexten betrachten wir diese und weitere Quellen sprecher:innenbezogener Variabilität sowie dyadenspezifische Muster in der Verwendung und Interpretation multimodaler Kommunikationssignale (z.B. Intonation, Hand- und Kopfbewegungen, Hörer:innensignale und Blickverhalten).
