  This paper presents an analysis of various forms of articulation between
graphico-gestural and verbal modalities in parallel interactions between
designers in a collaborative design situation. Based on our methodological
framework, we illustrate several forms of multimodal articulations, that is,
integrated and non-integrated, through extracts from a corpus on an
architectural design meeting. These modes reveal alignment or disalignment
between designers, with respect to the focus of their activities. They also
show different forms of coalition.
