Nine German speakers were instructed to read dialogues with embedded question-answer pairs and varied context regarding certainty and exhaustivity. Results show that H * accompanied by a raising of eyebrows or head occurs significantly more often for the context intended to advantage uncertainty and non-exhaustivity. Furthermore, when two noun phrases are coordinated, a higher number of audiovisually equivalent realizations occur for the context intended to advantage certainty and ex-haustivity, whereas audiovisually incongruent cues occur more often for the context intended to advantage uncertainty and non-exhaustivity.en004conference paper
