A Foundation for Empirical Multimodality Research
This project lays a foundation for conducting data-driven empirical research on multimodality, that is, how human communication and interaction rely on combinations of 'modes' of expression. Theories of multimodality are rapidly gaining currency in diverse fields concerned with human communication, interaction and cultural production. However, most theories of multimodality are based on conjecture and remain without an empirical foundation due to the lack of large, richly-annotated multimodal corpora and methods for their analysis. FOUNDATIONS solves this problem by developing a novel methodology for conducting empirical research on multimodality in everyday cultural artefacts, such as…
