Cover Story: Prosody—pitch, rhythm, pauses—helps listeners parse sentences, but its role in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and the added value of gestures remain unclear. We tracked the eye movements of 79 Catalan Spanish children aged 5–10 (34 DLD) while they interpreted ambiguous sentences under three conditions: baseline, prosody only, and multimodal (prosody and gesture). Prosody alone shifted both groups toward the less common high attachment interpretation; gestures drew attention to the speaker and the target images yet offered no extra accuracy in comprehension, and children with DLD showed slower visual integration. The findings show that highlighting prosody can bolster complex sentence comprehension in DLD, and that language comprehension in natural settings often involves integrating oral and visual cues in both populations.
