Because explanations are interactive communicative processes, the topical structure of an explanation may vary dynamically depending on the immediate feedback of the explainee. In this paper, we analyse topical transitions in medical explanations organised by different physicians (explainers) related to different forms of multimodal behaviour of caregivers (explainees) attending an explanation about the procedures of\r\nan upcoming surgery of a child. The analyses reveal that explainees’ multimodal behaviour with gaze shifts (and particularly gaze aversion) can predict a transition from an elaborated topic to a new one, whereas explainees’ forms of multimodal behaviour with static gaze cannot be related to changes of the topical structure.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2025-05-14T06:25:13Z","status":"public","doi":"10.1075/is.23033.laz","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"59888","title":"Changes in the topical structure of explanations are related to explainees’ multimodal behaviour","publisher":"John Benjamins","date_updated":"2025-06-27T13:57:36Z","page":"257 - 280","volume":25,"keyword":["explanations","multimodal behaviour","elaborations","conditional probabilities"],"type":"journal_article","user_id":"90345","year":"2024","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/is.23033.laz#metrics_content"}],"author":[{"id":"90345","first_name":"Stefan Teodorov","last_name":"Lazarov","full_name":"Lazarov, Stefan Teodorov","orcid":"0009-0009-0892-9483"},{"last_name":"Biermeier","full_name":"Biermeier, Kai","orcid":"0000-0002-2879-2359","id":"55908","first_name":"Kai"},{"id":"57578","first_name":"Angela","last_name":"Grimminger","full_name":"Grimminger, Angela"}]}
