Multimodal Communication

Aims & Scope

In essence, all communication is multimodal: we use language, gesture, posture, and other non-verbal modes often at the same time to communicate.

We may use many media when conducting research.

We may also use creative ways of jotting down what we perceive, i.e. using poetry and other creative writing or art forms to freeze what we understand.

We explain the world we investigate to others in multimodal ways.
