Abstract

This article analyzes the relationships between the perception of the physical environment and the emergence of spontaneous moments of talk initiatives produced by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our focus is on the multimodal resources (verbal and nonverbal) displayed in these interactions and its representation, transcription, and analysis. This systematization has two aims: (i) to offer a theoretical-conceptual status to the work of generating audiovisual corpora for linguistic investigations from a multimodal perspective and (ii) to discuss the implications of the constitution of corpora audiovisuals of naturally-occurring-interactions for the investigation and theorization of the interaction in ASD.

Keywords: multimodality, embodied interaction, videoanalysis, ASD, material world.
