Multimodality is a keyword of modern linguistics: "Multimodal" may refer to very different phenomena, e.g. text-image-relations or body signals (e.g. head movements) in conversation. In this course we will look at this ambiguous concept in detail. We will establish a broad theoretical fundament together. The core of the course, however, is the  analysis of different multimodal products. Guided by your interests, you will

• build multimodal corpora
• learn about different methods of analyzing multimodal products
• do actual empirical work.
