So much for providing some general context. At the beginning I explain the title of the talk, its allusion to agent?s coordination in a sort of alternation and I also point out that the whole research reported is linked up with the concept of Embodied Communication, especially the VR-agent Max. Ensuing, a short overview of Cognitive Science approaches to gesture is provided. There is a very brief encounter with Peirce, Quine, Wittgenstein and Heidegger. Empirical data from the object identification games as introduced above are presented showing that demonstration is part of natural language. Then different functions of demonstration such as pointing to objects, regions and directions are distinguished, based on annotated and rated empirical data. A multi-modal interface integrating the information coming from the gesture channel and the verbal channel is laid out, where special emphasis is put on the underspecification properties of multi-modal content. Residing to recent SDRT, it is shown how the information from the multi-modal interface can in principle be integrated into dialogue theory. Finally, an appraisal of the interdisciplinary work consisting of informatics and linguistics is given.
