The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of visual communication in a spoken research genre, the scientific conference paper. To this end, the study analyses the 2048 visuals projected during 90 papers given at five international conferences in three fields (geology, medicine, and physics), in order to bring out the recurrent features of the visual dimension. The visuals are first classified into a four-part typology specific to the conference paper genre. Analysis of the functions fulfilled by the visual channel reveals a wide range of meaning-making strategies which are exploited to structure the discourse and express logical relations. These strategies highlight the visual knowledge shared by conference participants and play an, important role in facilitating communication between NS and NNS researchers in the international conference situation.
