The Danish NOMCO Corpus Multimodal Interaction in First Acquaintance Conversations

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

This article presents the Danish NOMCO Corpus, an annotated multimodal collection of video-recorded first acquaintance conversations between Danish speakers. The annotation includes speech transcription including word boundaries, and formal as well as functional coding of gestural behaviours, specifically head movements, facial expressions, and body posture. The corpus has served as the empirical basis for a number of studies of communication phenomena related to turn management, feedback exchange, information packaging and the expression of emotional attitudes. We describe the annotation scheme, procedure, and annotation results. We then summarise a number of studies conducted on the corpus. The corpus is available for research and teaching purposes through the authors of this article.
